The Confirm Claim Bill
Insurers must confirm claim info within seven days
Insurance claims
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, insurers must send you a written receipt of any claim info you send, within a week, or they could be fined.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill gives you proof that your insurer got your claim details, so you can track it and push them if they ignore you, and it adds a penalty that may keep insurers from ignoring you.
