# GetClaimContacts - Advanced Notes

## Response Structure

Returns an array of `ClaimContactInfo` objects. AdHocFields is where insurance details, adjuster references, policy numbers, and similar custom data live.

## Reading Ad Hoc Fields

Ad hoc fields vary by firm and contact type. Each field has a `FieldLabel` and one or more value properties:

```javascript
(contact.AdHocFields || []).forEach(f => {
  // The value can be in any of these - check all
  const val = (f.BaboContact && f.BaboContact.Name)  // contact reference (adjusters, attorneys)
    || f.TextShortValue     // short text (policy numbers, claim numbers)
    || f.TextLongValue      // long text
    || f.FieldValue         // general value
    || f.DropdownValue      // dropdown selection
    || f.NumberValue        // numeric
    || f.DecimalValue       // decimal
    || '';
  if (val) result[f.FieldLabel] = val;
});
```

## Common Insurance Company Ad Hoc Fields

On "Insurance Company" contacts, you'll typically find:
- **Adjuster** - `BaboContact` reference to the adjuster person
- **Insured** - name of the insured party
- **Policy Number** - the insurance policy number
- **Claim Number** - the insurance claim number
- **Type of Insurance** - coverage type (Liability, UM, MedPay, Excess, etc.)
- **Limits** - policy limits
- **LOR Requested** / **LOR Sent** - letter of representation dates
- **Insurance Note** - additional contact info or notes

## Script Example

```javascript
async () => {
  const contacts = await SecureApi.GetClaimContacts(771360);

  return contacts
    .filter(c => c.ContactType.Name === 'Insurance Company')
    .map(c => {
      const adhocs = {};
      (c.AdHocFields || []).forEach(f => {
        const val = (f.BaboContact && f.BaboContact.Name)
          || f.TextShortValue || f.FieldValue || f.DropdownValue || '';
        if (val) adhocs[f.FieldLabel] = val;
      });
      return { carrier: c.Contact.Name, ...adhocs };
    });
}
