A Surety Claim Is Not an Insurance Claim. Handle It Like One.
For carriers and MGAs managing bond claims — where the principal owes the loss back, the obligee has rights, and every decision has to survive an audit.
- First-notice intake
- Reserve discipline
- Salvage & recovery
Built Around How Surety Claims Actually Work
A surety claim is a three-party problem, not a two-party one. The obligee makes a demand, the principal is obligated to indemnify, and the carrier has to investigate validity before it pays. Artemis handles the claim as what it is — a recoverable loss with collateral, indemnity, and salvage rights — not a one-way payout.
First Notice & Triage
Capture a demand the moment it arrives, matched to the exact bond, principal, and obligee on file — with the claim routed to the right handler before anything is keyed twice.
- Claim opened against the exact bond and its terms
- Obligee demand and documents attached at intake
- Automatic routing to the assigned claim handler
- No re-entry of principal or bond detail
Investigation & Reserves
Validity, performance status, and exposure assessed before a dollar is paid, with reserves set against the bond’s actual penal sum and collateral held.
- Claim validity assessed against bond obligations
- Reserves set to the bond’s penal sum and exposure
- Collateral and indemnity positions visible on the file
- A documentation trail for every reserve change
Payments & Indemnity
Track what the carrier pays out and what the principal owes back — because a surety loss is recoverable, and the indemnity agreement is the whole point.
- Loss and expense payments recorded on the claim
- Principal indemnity obligation tracked alongside payments
- Consent-of-surety and settlement approvals logged
- Every disbursement tied to the governing agreement
Salvage, Recovery & Closure
Pursue reimbursement from the principal and indemnitors, record salvage, and close the file with a complete, auditable history.
- Recovery pursued against principals and indemnitors
- Salvage and reimbursement posted to the claim
- Net loss calculated after recovery
- File closed with a complete audit trail
