For Florida Public Adjusters
27 line items the carrier will cut first— and how to document them so they can't.

The pattern
The carrier comeback isn't random.
You write a clean supplement. Manufacturer specs, FBC citations, Xactimate codes correctly modified. The desk adjuster sends it back with line items deleted, re-categorized to cheaper sub-lines, or flat-out denied. The reasons are almost never about the damage — they're about documentation that didn't make it into the file.
After 5+ years writing supplements for Florida PAs and 20,000+ estimates delivered, we've catalogued the items that get cut first. They are not random. There are 27 of them, and they cluster in the same five categories on nearly every disputed claim.
Every one of these 27 items has a specific, repeatable documentation pattern that closes the door before the carrier opens it. This guide is the working list.

27 Line Items the Carrier Will Cut First
— and How to Document Them So They Can't

How to use it
Three ways to put it to work this week.
Pre-submission audit
Before sending any supplement, run the 27-item checklist against your scope. Items missing documentation are items the carrier will cut.
Re-inspection prep
When a supplement comes back with cuts, the items here are usually where the cuts cluster. Pull the documentation patterns to rebuild scope.
Xactimate calibration
Use the add-on modifier guide as a quick reference for when the +, >, HT, and other suffixes apply to your line items.
From WCE's track record
5+ years. 20,000+ estimates. Florida-built.
The 27 items in this guide are not theory. They are the items we see cut on every disputed claim we rebuild — across PAs, attorneys, and restoration companies. The documentation patterns are the ones our estimators apply on every supplement we write.

Why this matters now
Carrier reviews are tighter than two years ago.
Carrier desks are catching cuts faster. The documentation bar has risen — supplements without manufacturer specs or current FBC citations get reduced on first pass. Florida hurricane season volume is back to peak, which means in-house teams are stretched and missing the line-item checks that used to happen by default.
The 27 items in this checklist are the ones that show up in nearly every disputed claim. Build the file once with this checklist; reuse it on every supplement.

Common questions
Before you download.
Is this really free?
Yes. No credit card, no upsell page. Enter your info, the PDF arrives in your inbox in under a minute.
What's the catch?
No catch. We publish guides like this because Florida PAs who already know the documentation patterns work better with us when they need an estimate written. The guide itself is yours regardless.
Will I get spam?
No. We send roughly one email per month with a new guide or a Florida-specific note. Unsubscribe is a single click and works the first time.
Do I need to be a current WCE client?
No. The guide is for any Florida PA. If after reading it you want WCE to write a specific supplement, you can reach out — but the guide stands on its own.
Is this Florida-specific?
The 27 items work for any property claim, but the FBC citations and code-upgrade pathways are written for Florida loss locations. We note where the pattern generalizes to other states.
If you'd rather skip the guide and go straight to having someone rebuild your hardest supplement, just reply to the welcome email. We'll review the case before you commit to anything — no pitch, no pressure.
