Very good sign. Choose your shop well, make sure they understand your expectations. The shop will know how to deal with the insurance.

Typically the insurance will then contact the shop, maybe ask a few questions and get a few photos.

'getting a check cut' is not something that you need to push for... once they give the shop the OK, then the shop will handle the billing, etc. If other items come up, they just add it to the claim. If you insist on a check, then it can get messy with reopening the claim. etc
