What is an Insurance Claim?
An Insurance Claim is an act wherein, a person who is insured or a person who is the next of kin to the insured contacts the insurance company to get some money due them.
For ex:
1. In case you had a serious health condition due to which, you were hospitalized and had to spend 1.5 lakhs of rupees from your pocket. But, the good news is, you have a health insurance policy, so you can claim the expenses from the insurance company. So, you will fill up a form and submit all documents for the medical expenses to the insurance company. The company will process your claim and settle you the money you spent in the hospital.
2. In case a colleague of yours died in an accident and left his wife and child behind, you will feel sorry for the family. The good news here again is, your company has a group life insurance policy and he is insured for Rs. 50 lakhs, just like you and your other colleagues. So, you call up the wife and explain her the same. She contacts the insurance company, fills up forms and submits proof of death of her husband. The insurance company validates the documents and releases the payment of 50 lakhs to her, which she can use to educate her child and take care of herself until her child grows up.
