What is the maximum number of days an insurer has to respond to a notice of claim?

The maximum number of days an insurer has to respond to a notice of claim is 15 days. This timeframe is established to ensure that insurers promptly acknowledge and address claims made by policyholders. A timely response is crucial in the claims process to facilitate the flow of information and help policyholders understand the next steps, whether that involves requests for additional information or the commencement of claims processing.

By adhering to this 15-day requirement, insurers demonstrate their commitment to customer service and regulatory compliance. It helps maintain a fair and efficient claims process, which is essential for consumer trust in the insurance industry.
