Tree Removal Invoice Review Case Study

A tree fell on the roof of a one-story home, resulting in a property claim and tree removal work that was billed in excess of $20,000. The adjuster handling the claim had concerns about the high dollar amount, so they turned to HMI’s green industry experts for an invoice review to determine whether the rate aligned with fair market pricing.

Request the Tree Removal Invoice Review Case Study to find out how HMI assessed the invoice for the completed work against market research and factors impacting the cost of services.

You’ll learn how that data informed HMI’s objective analysis, which involved:

• Reviewing images of the property taken before and during the removal process to evaluate ease of access to the home, scope of damage, and weather conditions
• Determining what equipment was appropriate to remove the tree based on its size and accessibility
• Assessing regular labor hour rates and number of crew members required on-site for a safe and swift extraction

By having HMI conduct the invoice review, the carrier was able to quickly and confidently decide how to proceed with the claim, knowing the invoice was well over what HMI recommended based on its evaluation.
