This session is built around the subject of the current situation concerning payment of paint and materials and what repairers can do to keep up with future cost increases. We'll start with a review of what is being paid by insurers in various sections of the U.S., a discussion of where the issue stands regarding alternative methods of calculating P&M compensation, followed by the best options to calculate the cost of P&M. The session will conclude with a discussion on ways to successfully negotiate with both DRP and non-DRP insurance company representatives to get adequately paid for P&M.
