How long does it take to process my Health claim?

By helping us gather the required documents and supply any missing information, you can prevent or decrease delays. Our claim department will review your documents to verify that we've received all required information. The claim will then be reviewed for eligibility. Bankers Life will communicate with the claimant and/or legal guardian throughout the process.

Is there a waiting period before my policy pays benefits?
