We offer several exclusive and comprehensive claims education programs, designed to give you a thorough understanding of life and health insurance claims administration. And if you’d like to reach a new level in your career by investing in your continuing education, the FLHC program will take you even deeper and further than the ALHC program. These classes are all discounted for our members.
