Review the loss run

What is a loss run report?

A loss run report is an insurance claims-history document. It generally summarizes claims associated with a policyholder over a specified period and is commonly requested during commercial insurance underwriting and renewal workflows.

What information is commonly shown on loss runs?

The exact format varies by carrier. Common information includes the policy period, claim number, date of loss, claim status, description, paid amount, reserve amount, and total incurred amount.

Why review loss runs before submission?

Missing pages, unclear claim status, incomplete valuation fields, or inconsistent policy periods can create additional underwriting questions. A simple completeness review can help identify known gaps before the file is sent.

Loss run report FAQ

What is the difference between paid, reserved, and incurred?

Paid generally refers to amounts already paid on a claim. Reserve refers to an amount set aside for expected future claim costs. Total incurred commonly reflects paid plus outstanding reserves, although reporting conventions can vary.

How many years of loss runs are required?

There is no universal requirement. The requested period varies by insurer, line of business, account, and market. Always follow the carrier's current underwriting request.

Do loss runs determine whether coverage will be offered?

No single document determines the outcome. Loss history may be one input among many in an underwriting process. This tool does not evaluate eligibility or predict an underwriting decision.

Can this checklist replace carrier-issued loss runs?

No. It only helps review the information you have. Official loss runs and carrier-specific documentation requirements remain controlling.

Important: This checklist reviews information completeness only. It does not assess claim validity, insurance risk, eligibility, pricing, coverage, or carrier appetite.
