This Equinox Procedure is for Agents. Find a complete list here.

This procedure explains how agents can submit a First Notice of Loss (FNOL) in the Equinox platform. Submitting an FNOL initiates the claims process for a policyholder after a loss event. Accurate and timely submission ensures that the claims process can proceed without delay.

Procedural Steps

1. Access the Policy in Equinox

* Log in to the Equinox platform and locate the policy associated with the loss event.

Open the policy record to verify the coverage details and ensure the policy is active.

2. Initiate the FNOL Submission

* Navigate to the "Claims" section and select "Submit FNOL."

Enter the required details about the loss event, including:

 * Date and type of loss
 * Policyholder contact information

* Description of the loss

3. Upload Supporting Documentation

* Attach any documents provided by the policyholder, such as photos of the damage or receipts for emergency repairs.

Ensure that all uploaded files are properly labeled and linked to the FNOL submission.

4. Review and Submit FNOL

* Review the entered information for accuracy and completeness.

Submit the FNOL through the Equinox platform to initiate the claims process.
