Life Claim FAQs

  1. How long does it take to process a claim?

    If the policy has been in force for longer than two years, it is considered “Incontestable,” which means it will be paid as soon as all of the required documents are received and examined.

    If the policy has been in force less than two years, it is considered “Contestable” and will be subject to further review, which could increase the processing time.

    For more information about the claims filing process, visit the Life Claim Filing Instructions.

  2. Once my claim has been processed, how long will it take to receive my check?

    Typically, you will receive your check within 10 - 15 business days from the time your claim was processed. If you haven’t received your check within 30 days of the date your claim was processed, please contact our Customer Service Department.

  3. My policy has been in force less than two years, how can I expedite the processing time for my claim?

    The process can be expedited by completely and accurately completing all necessary portions of the claim form, including listing on the Claimant Statement all known medical providers who treated the insured in the last 5 years.

    For more information about the claims filing process, visit the Life Claim Filing Instructions.

  4. I’m filing a claim for accidental death benefits, how can I expedite the processing time?

    All accidental death benefits, regardless of how long the coverage has been in force, will be investigated to ensure the death meets the criteria of an accident as defined in the policy.

    The process can be expedited by providing copies of the following documents along with your completed claim forms, the certified death certificate (including cause and manner of death) and a copy of the obituary (if available):

    • Autopsy, toxicology, and police reports
    • A certified copy of the coroner’s report
  5. I’m filing a claim where the manner of death of the insured was homicide, how can I expedite the processing time?

    All claims where the manner of death is homicide will be investigated.

    The process can be expedited by providing copies of the following documents along with your completed claim forms, the certified death certificate (including cause and manner of death), and a copy of the obituary (if available):

    • Autopsy, toxicology, and police reports
    • A certified copy of the coroner’s report
  6. How do you determine who to pay?

    The application includes a section where the beneficiary is designated. Also, through the life of the policy, the insured may elect to change the beneficiary. These changes are recorded in our computer system. If no beneficiary is chosen, we will issue the proceeds to the estate of the insured, unless a Last Will and Testament is provided that identifies a recipient to the insurance proceeds. Should there not be an estate in place, we will require a document from the courts stating as such. Depending on your state, it might be called a “No Estate Affidavit,” “Small Estate Affidavit,” “Summary of Estate,” or something similar. If you are unsure how to obtain this document, please contact your local County Court Clerk.

Health Claim FAQs

  1. How long does it take to process a claim?

    If the policy has been in force for longer than two years, it is considered “Incontestable,” which means it will be paid as soon as all of the required documents are received and examined.

    If the policy has been in force less than two years, it is considered “Contestable” and will be subject to further review, which could increase the processing time.

  2. Once my claim has been processed, how long will it take to receive my check?

    Typically, you will receive your check within 10 – 15 business days from the time your claim was processed. If you haven’t received your check within 30 days of the date your claim was processed, please contact our Customer Service Department.

  3. My policy has been in force less than two years, how can I expedite the processing time for my claim?

    The process can be expedited by providing itemized medical billing statements and completing all necessary portions of the claim form, including listing on the Claimant Statement all known medical providers who treated the insured in the last 4 years.

  4. Why do we request additional information on claims that are less than two years old?

    As with most insurance companies, claims submitted on policies that have been in effect less than two years require a more detailed examination.

  5. What is the difference between a UB-04 and a 1500 Health Insurance Claim Form?

    A UB-04 is typically a summary associated with hospital stays. A 1500 Health Insurance Claim Form is normally associated with clinic or physician visits. These forms are completed by and obtained from the provider in which the treatment was sought. The form numbers can be found at the bottom of the page.

  6. Why do we require both a UB-04 and itemized medical billing statements?

    The UB-04 has information on it that is not always on the itemized medical billings or other summaries, i.e. diagnosis and procedural codes.

  7. Why is additional verification via medical narratives (Doctor’s Notes) requested on accident claims?

    Many times the UB-04 or 1500 Health Insurance Claim Form will include diagnosis codes; however, these codes are not always fully descriptive of why the visit to the ER or physician took place. Narratives from those visits are helpful as they go into more detail of the observations and conversations that took place during the diagnosis and treatment of the injury. You can request a copy from the treatment facility.

  8. Is there a time frame in which treatment must be received after an Accidental Bodily Injury?

    Yes! The benefit for an accidental bodily injury is payable to an insured as long as the treatment is received within 72 hours from a qualified institution as defined by the policy. Always refer back to your policy for further information regarding benefit qualifications.

Health and Accident Claims FAQs

Here you will find answers to general claims filing questions. If you have questions or need assistance with filing your claim, please contact our Claims Department at (440) 922-5151. 

  1. How do you submit a claim for the Wellness Benefit, Early Detection Benefit, Screening, or Healthy Heart Benefit?

    No claim form is necessary. Simply mail, fax, or submit electronically a copy of your medical report/results or an itemized bill that includes the patient's full name, date of service, name of the screening test, or a description of the service. Include the Policyowner's/Certificate holder's full name, and policy/certificate number. For covered children, please also include their date of birth.

    Please do not send Explanation of Benefits (EOB) forms from other insurance companies as we are not able to use these to process claims.

  2. How do I submit or file a claim?

    You can submit a claim electronically through our website, by fax, or by mail. For faster filing, we recommend submitting your claim electronically where you can easily upload your supporting documents.

    Locate your specific type of health claim under "Health and Accident Insurance Claims" for the required documents that are needed in order to process your claim.

  3. Where can I find my policy/certificate number?

    Your policy/certificate number is located on your policy documents that were mailed to you. You may also call our Customer Service Department at (440) 922-5222.

  4. Will I be contacted if something is missing from my claim submission?

    Please carefully review all the filing instructions and submit all the required supporting documents. Missing information or documents will delay the processing of your claim. If it is determined that additional information is needed during the review of your claim, we will notify you in writing.

  5. How long does it take to process a claim?

    The claims process varies for different types of products. Therefore, processing times will vary and it may be necessary for us to request additional information in order to process your claim.

    For any policy less than two years old, the claim may be subject to further review. This will increase the processing time.

  6. Once my claim has been processed and approved for payment, how long will it take to receive my benefit payment?

    If your claim has been approved for payment, you will typically receive your direct deposit within seven business days from the time your claim was processed and all required information has been received. If your payment is in the form of a check, this will usually be received within 10 to 15 business days from the time your claim was processed and all required information has been received. If you have not received your check within 30 days of the date your claim was processed, please contact our Claims Department at (440) 922-5151.

  7. My policy has been in force less than two years. How can I help ensure my claim is processed in as timely a manner as possible?

    Provide itemized medical billing statements and complete all necessary portions of the claim forms and any authorization forms that are required.

  8. Why does the company request additional information on claims that are less than two years old?

    As with most insurance companies, claims submitted on policies that have been in effect less than two years require a more detailed examination.

  9. What is the difference between a UB-04 and a 1500 HCFA statement?

    A UB-04 is typically a summary associated with hospital stays. A 1500 HCFA statement is normally associated with clinic or physician visits. These forms are completed by and obtained from the medical provider from whom the treatment was sought. The form numbers can be found at the bottom of the page.

  10. Why does the company require both a UB-04 and itemized medical billing statements?

    The UB-04 has information on it that is not always on the itemized medical billing statements or other summaries (e.g., diagnosis and medical procedural codes).

  11. Why is additional verification of medical records requested on accident claims?

    Many times the UB-04 or 1500 HCFA statement will include diagnosis codes. However, these codes are not always fully descriptive of why the visit to the ER or physician took place. Medical records such as Emergency Room and Doctor's Notes from the visits are helpful as they go into more detail of the observations and conversations that took place during the diagnosis and treatment of the injury. You can request a copy of this information from the facility that provided the treatment.

  12. How will I find out about my claim decision?

    We will notify you in writing when a decision is made on your claim. Please review your policy before submitting your claim for detailed information regarding the specific benefits, how they are administered, and any limitations and exclusions. The claim decision is determined in accordance with the policy provisions.

  1. How long does it take to process a claim?

    If the policy has been in force for longer than two years, it is considered “Incontestable,” which means it will be processed when all of the required documents are received and examined.

    If the policy has been in force less than two years, it is considered “Contestable” and will be subject to further review, which could increase the processing time.

  2. How do I submit or file a claim?

    You can submit a claim electronically through our website, by fax, or by mail. For faster filing, we recommend submitting your claim electronically where you can easily upload your supporting documents. The exception to this is if the original, certified death certificate is required, which must be submitted by mail only.

    Please refer to the "File a Life Claim" instructions tab for the required documents that are needed in order to process your claim.

  3. Once my claim has been processed and approved for payment, how long will it take to receive my check?

  5. I’m filing a claim for accidental death benefits. How can I help ensure my claim is processed in as timely a manner as possible?

    All accidental death benefits, regardless of how long the coverage has been in force, will be reviewed to ensure the death meets the criteria of an accident as defined in the policy.

    Provide copies of the following documents along with the completed claim forms, the death certificate (including cause and manner of death), and a copy of the obituary (if available):

    • Autopsy, alcohol, toxicology, and police reports
    • A certified copy of the coroner’s report
    • Newspaper accounts and articles
  6. I’m filing a claim where the manner of death of the insured was homicide. How can I help ensure the claim is processed in as timely a manner as possible?

    All claims where the manner of death is listed as homicide on the Insured's death certificate will be investigated.

    Provide copies of the following documents along with the completed claim forms, the death certificate (including cause and manner of death), and a copy of the obituary (if available):

    • Autopsy, alcohol, toxicology, and police reports
    • A certified copy of the coroner’s report
    • Newspaper accounts and articles
  7. How does the company determine who to pay?

    The application includes a section where the policyholder may designate a beneficiary. Through the life of the policy, the policyholder may elect to change the primary beneficiary, add additional beneficiaries, or elect to list a contingent beneficiary under the policy. These changes are recorded in our computer system. It is important to note that we are unable to accept a change in beneficiary designation after the insured has passed away.

    If no beneficiary is chosen while the policy is in force or the listed beneficiary is no longer living at the time the insured passes away, any benefit payable will be issued pursuant to the terms of the policy.

    If you need to make changes to your beneficiary please contact our Customer Service Department at (440) 922-5222.

  8. Where can I find the policy and agent numbers which are required to file an eClaim?

    The policy and agent numbers are located on the policy and application documents. You may also call our Customer Service Department at (440) 922-5222.

  9. Can I submit a copy of the death certificate to file a claim?

    An original, certified death certificate is required for claims over $50,000 and must be submitted by mail only. If the death certificate is directly received from a funeral home or funding company, or for claims $50,000 or less, a copy will be accepted.

  6. How do you determine who to pay?

    Beneficiary is designated by the policy holder when applying for the Life policy. Policyholders do have the ability to update beneficiary information at any point during the life of the policy. These changes are recorded in our computer system. If no beneficiary is chosen, we will issue the proceeds to the estate of the insured, unless a Last Will and Testament is provided that identifies a recipient to the insurance proceeds. Should there not be an estate in place, we will require a document from the courts stating as such. Depending on your state, it might be called a “No Estate Affidavit,” “Small Estate Affidavit,” “Summary of Estate,” or something similar. If you are unsure how to obtain this document, please contact your local County Court Clerk.

  7. How do I obtain a certified death certificate?

    Certified death certificates have either a raised seal or a multicolored signature seal from the county, city or state that issued the certificate. In addition, the original death certificate should contain the signature of an appropriate officer of the county, city or state. Typically a certified death certificate can be obtained by working through the Funeral Home or at the Department of Health or Vital Statistics of your local Government.

  2. Once my claim has been processed, how long will it take to receive my check?

  3. What is the difference between a Link to file name "UB-04" and a Link to file name "1500 Health Insurance Claim Form"?

    A UB-04 is typically a summary associated with hospital stays. A 1500 Health Insurance Claim Form is normally associated with clinic or physician visits. These forms are completed by and obtained from the provider in which the treatment was sought. The form numbers can be found at the bottom of the page.

  4. Why do we require both a UB-04 and itemized medical billing statements with some health plan claims?

    The UB-04 has information on it that is not always on the itemized medical billings or other summaries, i.e. diagnosis and procedural codes.

  5. Why is additional verification via medical narratives (Doctor’s Notes) requested on some accident claims?

    Many times the UB-04 or 1500 Health Insurance Claim Form will include diagnosis codes; however, these codes are not always fully descriptive of why the visit to the ER or physician took place. Narratives from those visits are helpful as they go into more detail of the observations and conversations that took place during the diagnosis and treatment of the injury. You can request a copy from the treatment facility.

  6. Is there a time frame in which treatment must be received after an Accidental Bodily Injury?

    Yes! The benefit for an accidental bodily injury is payable to an insured as long as the treatment is received as defined by your policy from a qualified institution. ALWAYS REFER BACK TO YOUR POLICY FOR FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING BENEFIT QUALIFICATIONS.

Health Insurance Claims FAQ

  1. How long does it take to process a claim?

    If the policy has been in force for longer than two years, it is considered “Incontestable,” which means it will be paid as soon as all of the required documents are received and examined.

    If the policy has been in force less than two years, it is considered “Contestable” and will be subject to further review, which could increase the processing time.

  2. Once my claim has been processed, how long will it take to receive my check?

    If you have elected to receive your payment through direct deposit, your payment will typically be presented to your bank within two business days.

    If you have elected to receive your payment via a check, typically, you will receive your check within 10-15 business days from the time your claim was processed. If you have not received your check within 30 days of the date your claim was processed, please contact our Customer Care Team.

    Hours of Operation:
    7:30 am to 5:00 pm Central
    Monday through Friday

  3. My policy has been in force less than two years. How can I help ensure my claim is processed in as timely a manner as possible?

    Provide itemized medical billing statements and complete all necessary portions of the claim forms, including listing all known medical providers who treated the insured in the last four years on the Claimant Statement.

  4. Why do we request additional information on claims that are less than two years old?

    As with most insurance companies, claims submitted on policies that have been in effect less than two years require a more detailed examination. In order to provide you with valuable coverage at competitive prices, we need to ensure that information supplied regarding your coverage is accurate. Sometimes validating this information might require us to request additional information regarding the cause and manner of death or past health history.

  5. What is the difference between a UB-04 and a CMS1500?

    A UB-04 is typically a summary associated with hospital stays. A CMS 1500 is normally associated with clinic or physician visits.

  6. Why do we require both a UB-04 and itemized medical billing statements?

    The UB-04 has information on it that is not always on the itemized medical billings or other summaries, i.e. diagnosis and procedural codes.

  7. Why is additional verification via medical narratives (Doctor’s Notes) requested on accident claims?

    Many times the UB-04 or CMS 1500 will include diagnosis codes. However, these codes are not always fully descriptive of why the visit to the ER or physician took place. Medical records from those visits are helpful as they go into more detail of the observations and conversations that took place during the diagnosis and treatment of the injury. You can request a copy from the treatment facility.

  8. How will I receive my claims payment?

    You can receive your payment via direct deposit or by conventional mail. To sign up for direct deposit:

    • Click on the Customer Login link in the menu bar
    • Once you are logged in, select Policy Changes
    • Select Sign up for Direct Deposit
    • Enter your banking details

    Each of your claim’s payments up to $50,000 will now be direct deposited into your bank account. Your Explanation of Benefits can be viewed electronically on the claim’s status page.

    Note: If the sum of claim payments in any one day is greater than $50,000, you will receive the funds paid by check. Disability claim payments are excluded from ACH and will continue to be paid by check.

Life Disability/Waiver of Premium Claim Filing Instructions

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. As such, we offer a Waiver of Premium program where you could have some, or all, of your life insurance premiums waived with the benefit amount of your coverage staying the same. The instructions for submitting a Waiver of Premium claim are as follows:

Initial Waiver of Premium Claim

If you suffer a disability that keeps you from maintaining employment and this is the first time you are applying for premium waiver, please print and fill out the entire Claimant Statement and send it in along with your disability declaration letter from the Social Security office to the following address:

Fax: 254-741-5705

Attn: Claims
PO Box 2500
Waco, TX 76702

Once we receive the documentation, a Claims Analyst will review it and follow up with you regarding any potential assistance for which you are qualified.

Please note: If you qualify for Waiver of Premium benefits, you will be required to provide continued proof of disability at regular intervals, which we will request in writing. After two years of continued disability, we will not require such proof more than once a year.

If you are filing a request for the continuance of Waiver of Premium benefits, you complete section A of the claim form, have your employer fill out Part C and have your physician fill out Part D of the Claimant Statement. Please submit the completed documentation to one of the following:

Life Claim FAQs

  1. How long does it take to process a claim?

    If the policy has been in force for longer than two years, it is considered “Incontestable,” which means it will be paid as soon as all of the required documents are received and examined.

    If the policy has been in force less than two years, it is considered “Contestable” and will be subject to further review, which could increase the processing time.

    For more information about the claims filing process, see the Life Claim Filing Instructions above.

  2. Once my claim has been processed, how long will it take to receive my check?

    Typically, you will receive your check within 10 - 15 business days from the time your claim was processed. If you haven’t received your check within 30 days of the date your claim was processed, please contact our Customer Service Department.

  3. My policy has been in force less than two years, how can I expedite the processing time for my claim?

    The process can be expedited by completely and accurately completing all necessary portions of the claim form, including listing on the Claimant Statement all known medical providers who treated the insured in the last 5 years.

    For more information about the claims filing process, see the Life Claim Filing Instructions above.

  4. I’m filing a claim for accidental death benefits, how can I expedite the processing time?

    All accidental death benefits, regardless of how long the coverage has been in force, will be investigated to ensure the death meets the criteria of an accident as defined in the policy.

    The process can be expedited by providing copies of the following documents along with your completed claim forms, the certified death certificate (including cause and manner of death) and a copy of the obituary (if available):

    • Autopsy, toxicology, and police reports
    • A certified copy of the coroner’s report
  5. I’m filing a claim where the manner of death of the insured was homicide, how can I expedite the processing time?

    All claims where the manner of death is homicide will be investigated.

    The process can be expedited by providing copies of the following documents along with your completed claim forms, the certified death certificate (including cause and manner of death) and a copy of the obituary (if available):

    • Autopsy, toxicology, and police reports
    • A certified copy of the coroner’s report
  6. How do you determine who to pay?

    The application includes a section where the beneficiary is designated. Also, through the life of the policy, the insured may elect to change the beneficiary. These changes are recorded in our computer system. If no beneficiary is chosen, we will issue the proceeds to the estate of the insured, unless a Last Will and Testament is provided that identifies a recipient to the insurance proceeds. Should there not be an estate in place, we will require a document from the courts stating as such. Depending on your state, it might be called a “No Estate Affidavit,” “Small Estate Affidavit,” “Summary of Estate,” or something similar. If you are unsure how to obtain this document, please contact your local County Court Clerk.

  3. My policy has been in force less than two years, how can I expedite the processing time for my claim?

    The process can be expedited by providing itemized medical billing statements and completing all necessary portions of the claim form, including listing on the Claimant Statement all known medical providers who treated the insured in the last 4 years.

  4. Why do we request additional information on claims that are less than two years old?

    As with most insurance companies, claims submitted on policies that have been in effect less than two years require a more detailed examination.

  5. What is the difference between a UB-04 and a 1500 Health Insurance Claim Form?

    A UB-04 is typically a summary associated with hospital stays. A 1500 Health Insurance Claim Form is normally associated with clinic or physician visits. These forms are completed by and obtained from the provider in which the treatment was sought. The form numbers can be found at the bottom of the page.

  6. Why do we require both a UB-04 and itemized medical billing statements?

    The UB-04 has information on it that is not always on the itemized medical billings or other summaries, i.e. diagnosis and procedural codes.

  7. Why is additional verification via medical narratives (Doctor’s Notes) requested on accident claims?

    Many times the UB-04 or 1500 Health Insurance Claim Form will include diagnosis codes; however, these codes are not always fully descriptive of why the visit to the ER or physician took place. Narratives from those visits are helpful as they go into more detail of the observations and conversations that took place during the diagnosis and treatment of the injury. You can request a copy from the treatment facility.

  8. Is there a time frame in which treatment must be received after an Accidental Bodily Injury?

    Yes! The benefit for an accidental bodily injury is payable to an insured as long as the treatment is received within 72 hours from a qualified institution as defined by the policy. ALWAYS REFER BACK TO YOUR POLICY FOR FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING BENEFIT QUALIFICATIONS.
