Digital Claims Reporting from MyWestfield
The MyWestfield digital claims reporting portal is taking service to a whole new level with the addition of several self-service capabilities designed to get customers on their way, faster. In addition to being able to self-enroll in claims texting, now, when digitally reporting Personal Lines Auto claims, customers can use new self-service capabilities, including the Direct Repair Program (DRP) and photo-based estimating. We've also expanded digital claims reporting for Personal Lines Property claims to include incidents of theft and vandalism.
Claims Texting
We've enhanced claims texting to make enrollment available to customers as part of both the digital and after-hours claim reporting processes. Our after-hours service provider can now update customers' claims texting preferences to initiate the enrollment process. If a customer has opted in after hours, they can immediately begin a text conversation with their assigned claims professional.
