At Allstate, great things happen when our people work together to protect families and their belongings from life’s uncertainties. And for more than 90 years our innovative drive has kept us a step ahead of our customers’ evolving needs. From advocating for seat belts, air bags and graduated driving laws, to being an industry leader in pricing sophistication, telematics, and, more recently, device and identity protection.

The Medicare Adjuster role supports the Medicare Mail Adjusting Team, and is responsible for handling the medical portion of auto accident claims under personal injury protection (PIP) and/or medical payment benefits (and some liability claims), where policy limits or company exposure are limited. The adjuster determines coverage, assesses medical claims and bills, investigates potential fraud, explains coverage, and follows up on ongoing treatments.
