The Most Powerful Investigative Tool in Claims: It’s Not the EUO

When I first called the Examination Under Oath (EUO) the most powerful investigative tool in one of our early training sessions, I was met with resistance. Someone stood up, visibly upset, and said, “No, it’s not the EUO—it’s me!”

And you know what? They were absolutely right.​

The Truth About Investigative Tools

As claims professionals, you are the most powerful investigative tool your company has. It’s not the EUO, the recorded statement, or any other available resource. These tools are just that—tools. What makes them effective is you:

  • Your ability to ask the right questions.
  • Your understanding of the process.
  • Your judgment in deciding when and how to use these tools.

That’s why equipping you with the right knowledge is critical.

Why Training Matters

The Examination Under Oath is an incredibly effective tool—but only when handled by someone who knows its full purpose, protection, and process. That’s where training makes all the difference.

After completing this training, you’ll have:​

  • The Highest EUO IQ: Unless you’re dealing with someone who has also gone through our EUO training, you’ll be the most knowledgeable person in the room.
  • Confidence in Your Role: Whether you’re conducting or overseeing an EUO, you’ll know exactly how to approach it with purpose and precision.
  • A Comprehensive Understanding: From EUO fundamentals to advanced applications, you’ll have the tools and insights to handle EUOs effectively.

This isn’t about boasting; it’s about recognizing what the company is doing for you. By providing this training, they’re giving you knowledge and skills that even seasoned SIU professionals at other companies might lack.

Your Role in the Process

Ultimately, the success of an EUO depends on you. With the right mindset and preparation, you’ll approach every EUO as a straightforward, matter-of-fact process:

  • Understand the Policy: Know what the EUO is under the policy and its purpose in the claims process
  • Execute with Confidence: Use your training to handle the EUO efficiently and effectively.
  • Leverage the Tool: Combine your knowledge with the EUO’s capabilities to gather the necessary information and documentation.

Conclusion

The Examination Under Oath is a powerful tool—but it’s only as effective as the person using it. That’s why your role is so important. Through this training, you’ll gain the skills, confidence, and knowledge to make EUOs an integral part of your investigative process.
