"A claims department is the section of an insurance company that manages the settling of claims. Essential to any insurer, this department is tasked with evaluating whether or not losses are covered, determining the amount of money to be paid out for covered losses, investigating claims to make sure fraud is not occurring, and whatever else may be necessary in handling and processing claims." https://www.insuranceopedia.com/definition/1191/claims-department
