claims process
Insurance paperwork sequence
A claims process is the series of steps required to request payment or benefits from an insurance company, government program, or other institution.
It typically involves filing paperwork, providing documentation of a loss or expense, and awaiting review and approval.
The claims process for hurricane damage took several months.
In insurance contexts, the claims process may include investigation, assessment of damages, and negotiation before settlement is reached.
