Which of the following is an example of Adjusting & Other (A&O) expenses?

Adjusting & Other expenses are the costs tied to handling a claim itself—the activities and fees involved in processing and settling the claim. Fees paid to adjusters and settling agents fall squarely here because they are the direct costs of the adjustment function. Surveillance expenses are part of the investigation process used to validate or deny the claim, not the act of adjusting it. Litigation management expenses cover defense activities in a lawsuit, which are separate defense costs. Fixed amounts for medical cost containment relate to programs that control medical expenses, a distinct cost category focused on medical management rather than the adjusting process.
