Tips and important things to know about filing a life insurance claim.
Things to do when filing a life insurance claim.
When you file a life insurance claim here are some tips which can get the claim processed and paid fast.
- Call the insurer and inform them of the death as soon as possible. This will create a record and inform the insurer that premiums will no longer be paid.
- Request all claim forms and medical release forms from the insurer when you inform them of the death.
- Review the Death Certificate to make sure all information is accurate.
- Only submit a Final death certificate. Don’t submit a death certificate that is Preliminary.
- Don’t submit a photocopy of a death certificate. Only submit an original death certificate.
- Don’t give the policy to anyone. Keep it.
- Make sure the payment instructions for the claim check are clear.
- If required to have a face-to-face interview with a claims representative, have an advisor, family member or friend with you (we’re available to attend this meeting with beneficiaries).
- If the claim is contestable be sure to have the names and contact information of all medical providers the insured visited within 5 years prior to the application date.
Tracking the status of your life insurance claim.
- Some life insurers use a webpage for claim updates. If possible, establish your user name and password so you can log into your claim page for status updates.
- Call the claims department regularly. If it appears that no progress is being made with the claim contact an expert.
- Verify that anything you mail to the insurer has been received. Us USPS Priority mail.
If the insurer is not responsive to your requests for updates or if you’re getting conflicting responses, think twice about making threats or writing complaints to the insurer. Such actions will often add further delays to a claim.
Planning ahead in case you have problems with your claim.
Here are some recommendations that will help you if you have problems getting the insurer to pay your life insurance claim in a reasonable amount of time.
- Keep the policy.
- Make copies of all correspondence you send or receive regarding the claim.
- Log the time and date of all telephone calls with the claims department.
- Use USPS Priority mail for everything you send the claims department so you can track its delivery.
If another person tries to collect your claim.
A competing claim can come from anyone who tries to collect your share of the life insurance claim. If your claim is being challenged by another claimant you should contact a professional immediately. Such situations, even when the competing claim is false, are usually turned over to a Court. This is called an interpleader. An interpleader means that the insurer couldn’t decide who they should pay the claim money to so they give the money to a Court to decide. To a legitimate beneficiary this means you’ll be forced to hire an attorney to go to court with you in order to get your money. This can be very expensive. If your claim is being challenged by another beneficiary, please contact us now for help.
