What may occur after a claim form is submitted to the insurance company?

When a claim form is submitted to the insurance company, claim processing is initiated as one of the first steps in the claims management process. This involves reviewing the details provided in the claim form, assessing any necessary documentation, and determining the validity of the claim based on the policy's stipulations. The insurer will gather relevant information to decide whether compensation is warranted and what amount may be paid.

This process may involve additional communication between the insurer and the insured to clarify information or to request further documentation. While audits or other actions might occur later in the claim process, the immediate response after submitting a claim is the beginning of the claim processing phase.
