General patterns reported on this type of claim, not specific findings about Manatee Insurance Exchange. Every claim turns on its own policy and facts.
Manatee Insurance Exchange (NAIC #17580) is a Florida-domiciled reciprocal insurance exchange that received its certificate of authority in 2024 and grew out of Tampa-based Safepoint Insurance. A reciprocal is owned by its policyholders (subscribers) and operated by a separate manager called an attorney-in-fact. Manatee focuses on coastal, hurricane-exposed Florida property and has assumed policies from Citizens. Your claim is handled by, and paid from, Manatee Insurance Exchange.
Report a claim through Manatee's claims center at manatee-insurance.com; a separate flood line applies, so confirm the current numbers on their site. To dispute a decision, request the full claim file and the specific policy basis in writing. Florida offers free Department of Financial Services mediation for residential property claims, and most policies include an appraisal clause for amount-of-loss disputes. In Florida you generally have 1 year from the date of loss to give notice and 18 months for supplemental claims (§ 627.70132); confirm your dates with counsel.
