Recovery Claims professionals focus on recovering funds for insurance companies after a claim, often handling subrogation and recovery processes. Claims Adjusters evaluate damages, investigate claims, and determine payout amounts. While both roles work within the insurance industry and require similar certifications, Recovery Claims specialists concentrate on recovering funds post-claim, whereas Claims Adjusters assess and settle claims directly with policyholders.
