Client, Policy, and Claims Summaries
Summaries provide a snapshot of client and policy information that can be printed and given to customers or other interested parties.
HawkSoft provides four types of summaries that can be used to compile and print different information: Policy Overviews, Detailed Summaries, Dec Views, and Claims Details.
Only an insurance carrier can provide proof of coverage. For this reason, documents generated in HawkSoft should be used for reference only and not as legal proof of coverage or limits.
