When the SABS change in July 2026, clients will first feel it at the claim table. This session is built for claim professionals who will be answering the hard questions when coverage isn’t what a client expected.
We’ll walk through the key SABS reforms that directly affect claims handling: new benefit limits and structures, what clients will no longer receive automatically, and how the new OPCF-47 Priority of Payments endorsement will impact investigations during both the transition and renewal periods. You’ll gain clarity on new accident benefit claim handling impacts, application of collateral benefits, bodily injury claim handling impacts, and how coverage decisions made at sales and renewal will show up in your files.
The seminar focuses on practical, day-to-day tools: investigation tactics, how to explain coverage gaps in plain language, how to document consent and conversations properly, when to escalate to legal or compliance, and how to manage difficult conversations with empathy while still protecting the organization.
We’ll also look ahead at emerging fraud risks in the new environment and the evolving role of SIU. Using real case reviews and cross-functional discussion (claims, legal, healthcare, underwriting), we’ll explore what can go wrong, how disputes and lawsuits may unfold under the new regime, and how claims teams can feed insights back to brokers and underwriters to reduce future issues. You’ll leave with clearer processes, stronger documentation habits, and more confidence handling tough claim conversations after SABS 2026.
SABS is changing in July 2026—and your clients will be looking to you to make sense of what it all means. This practical, front-line–focused session is designed for brokers, agents, advisors, and sales/renewal staff who need to explain the new SABS landscape clearly, ethically, and confidently while protecting both the client and the brokerage from future E&O exposure.
Using real-world examples and claim scenarios, we’ll walk through what’s changing under the 2026 reforms, the impact on the most common claim types, and how to talk about “what you’re giving up” when clients choose reduced or basic benefits. You’ll learn how to frame the conversation around value—income protection, long-term care, and peace of mind—rather than just price.
We’ll explore practical tools and techniques for every stage of the client journey: new business, automatic renewals, and mid-term touchpoints. Expect ready-to-use scripts and templates, visual coverage-gap explainers, and multi-channel communication approaches (phone, email, text, newsletters, signatures) that demonstrate a clear, documented effort to inform.
The seminar will also dig into the legal and ethical side of SABS conversations: understanding your duty to warn, recognizing vulnerable clients, and building bulletproof files with best-practice documentation. Through case studies, a panel Q&A (broker, adjuster, legal, healthcare), and roleplay of tricky “decline” situations, you’ll leave with concrete tools to reduce risk, support informed decisions, and strengthen client trust in a hardening market.

Condo insurance is an often misunderstood product. Misconceptions are common and many stem from confusion about coverage provided by the Condo Corporation’s insurance vs. the unit owner’s condo insurance. Condo construction and sales aren’t showing signs of slowing down soon and a condo is often the first time homebuyer’s step into the real estate market. Helping customers identify their needs and ensure proper coverage will go a long way in building a new and lasting relationship with a home owner who will almost certainly always require home insurance.
