Let Resolute Claims can take all the hassle and stress out of claiming on a Critical Illness Insurance policy. Simply give us a call and we’ll take care of everything.
If you have been diagnosed with an illness you might look to claim on your Critical Illness policy. Critical Illness is designed to pay-out if you have been diagnosed with a listed condition. There can be certain stipulations around the severity of these illnesses so it’s best to check the policy first.
Normally claims can be done online or over the phone. You’ll need your policy number, medical information (confirmation of your diagnosis or histology reports), GP and Consultant’s details and a brief medical history (i.e., when you started experiencing symptoms).
Once the claim form is completed the insurance company may write to your GP and Specialist for more details about your condition. The more information you can supply at the beginning of your claim the better. Often insurance companies will seek to confirm that you were truthful when applying for the insurance (often referred to as fishing). They may ask your GP for information relating to your smoking status or alcohol usage. Generally, insurance companies shouldn’t do this.
This can depend on how fast your medical professionals respond to the insurance companies and how quickly the insurance providers assess the information. We have heard of companies taking over 30 working days (6 weeks) to assess information. Generally speaking, a well-prepared claim will take around 8-10 weeks.
You can use a specialist service like Resolute Claims to claim on your behalf, claim online through the insurance company’s website or telephone your insurance company directly.
Insurance companies normally expect you to claim within 6 months of being diagnosed with a Critical Illness. This can be challenged, and we have successfully submitted claims for people that were diagnosed over 15 years previously with policies that are now cancelled.
