IP Insurance Claims Documentation

Preparing Your IP Insurance Claim: Key Documents Required

Submitting an Income Protection (IP) insurance claim involves gathering specific documents to ensure a smooth and efficient process. Providing accurate and complete documentation is essential for a successful claim. Here’s a guide to the key documents you’ll need.

Core Documents for Your IP Claim

1. Medical Reports

Detailed medical documentation is vital to support your claim. These reports should include:

• Diagnosis: A clear statement from your doctor about your medical condition.
• Treatment Plans: Information about current or past treatments.
• Prognosis: An assessment of your recovery timeline and how your condition affects your ability to work.

2. Employment Verification

Provide documents verifying your income and employment status, such as:

• Recent Payslips: To confirm your earnings.
• Employment Contracts: To outline your role and working conditions.

These help insurers understand your earnings before the illness or injury occurred.

3. Claim Form

• Obtain and complete your insurer’s claim form with accurate and current information.
• Double-check for errors, as discrepancies can cause delays in processing.

4. Identification

• Submit valid identification documents, such as a passport or driver’s licence, to verify your identity and ensure the legitimacy of your claim.

Additional Documents (If Applicable)

1. Specialist Reports

If you’ve consulted with specialists, their detailed reports can strengthen your claim. These documents provide insights into specific treatments or assessments.

2. Previous Medical History

Providing past medical records offers additional context about your condition. These can help establish a timeline of your illness or injury, which may be crucial for claim evaluation.
