Once a claim is notified, how long does the insurer have to provide claim forms?

When a claim is reported, the insurer is obligated by law to send the necessary claim forms to the claimant within a specific timeframe. In Michigan, the standard requirement stipulates that insurers must provide these claim forms within 15 days of receiving notification of the claim. This timeframe is established to ensure that claimants are not unduly delayed in the claims process, enabling them to gather and submit the necessary information to support their claim. Timely provision of claim forms is a critical aspect of the claims handling process, allowing for efficient resolution and ensuring that claimants can proceed with their claims without unnecessary barriers.
