Common friction with Amica
Amica is a smaller carrier; storm-season volume can occasionally extend their response.
We deliver complete documentation on day one so the adjuster visit moves directly to scope agreement without back-and-forth.

It depends on your policy and the cause of loss. Homeowner policies commonly cover crime scene cleanup of an owned dwelling. Where coverage falls short, state victim compensation funds in MD, PA, WV, and VA can reimburse cleanup costs. We bill the carrier directly and help families with the fund paperwork. Either way, Catalyst documents everything Amica needs and bills them directly where allowed.
Amica typically assigns an adjuster within 1-3 business days. Catalyst can begin work immediately - reasonable emergency steps to limit further damage are reimbursable. Most claims close within 30-90 days depending on scope and any supplements.
Yes. Insurance carriers (including Amica) cannot require you to use their preferred network. You have the absolute legal right to choose any licensed restoration company. Amica pays your selected provider at the same rates as their preferred network.
Amica expects photos from first response, a clear cause-of-loss narrative, an itemized scope in Xactimate format, documentation of the work performed, and final verification. Catalyst provides all of it and submits directly to your Amica adjuster.
Most homeowner policies include biohazard remediation coverage; many states also offer victim-compensation programs. We work within both and handle the documentation.
