What is Delay in Claim Process?

In the context of insurance claims, delay refers to a situation where an insurer fails to process or settle a claim in a reasonable amount of time. For example, as per IRDA, a health claim should be processed within 30 from the final submission of documents. Sometimes an insurer does not respond to a client’s request for payment or investigate within a reasonable time frame. Such situations lead to further delays in claim settlement.

  • Track the Claim: We monitor the claim status and identify where the process is getting delayed.
  • Identify the Bottleneck: We determine whether the delay is due to documentation, investigation, assessment, or insurer processing.
  • Follow Up: We coordinate with the relevant insurer/TPA teams for timely action.
  • Resolve Documentation Gaps: We help identify and address pending requirements that may be holding up the claim.
  • Escalate When Required: We assist with formal escalation when delays are unreasonable or unresolved.
