An insured incurs a covered accident and health insurance loss on May 30 which is submitted to the insurer on June 8. If the insured terminated coverage on June 1, the insurer
must pay the claim upon receipt of the proof of loss.
An insurer is obligated to process claims for covered losses that occur while the policy is active, regardless of the termination of coverage, provided the loss was incurred prior to the termination date.
This choice is incorrect because the loss occurred on May 30, before the coverage was terminated on June 1. As the incident took place while the coverage was in effect, the insurer must honor the claim despite the subsequent termination.
This option is incorrect as the post-existing conditions exclusion applies to pre-existing conditions when a policyholder applies for or renews a policy. Since the claim pertains to an incident that occurred after the policy was active, this exclusion does not apply.
This is the correct answer because the insurer is required to pay claims for losses that happen while the policy is in effect, as long as the proof of loss is submitted appropriately. Given that the accident occurred prior to termination, the insurer has a legal obligation to pay.
This choice is misleading because while some policies may stipulate time frames for claims after cancellation, it does not apply here. The insurer must pay for losses incurred before coverage ended, regardless of the termination date.
When an insured incurs a loss while their coverage is active, the insurer remains liable to pay the claim even if the policy is subsequently terminated. In this case, because the loss occurred prior to the coverage termination, the insurer must process and pay the claim upon receiving the necessary proof of loss. This principle ensures that insured parties are protected against losses incurred during the coverage period.
