The entire cross member hangs on 4 bolts. Even if it was (cross member) damaged during the accident I bet you 100% that those 4 bolts did not move an inch. Cross member is aluminum so it always goes first and it's easy to replace to get your car back to correct specs.
Body panel would probably need to be cut off and new one welded in place.

our rear suspension is the easiest to repair.

They ordered the parts yesterday... takes few days for that, so I'm thinking in 1.5-2 weeks from now.

Since his insurance is taking care of it, it's going to be a cut and weld job. Where would the filler come in here?

Panel was cut out and completely replaced. Peeled back rear door trim and could see the new spot welds. Same goes for inside trunk lip/edge. They did a great job.
