About Claim Prep Guide
Free insurance claim preparation tools and educational resources for US policyholders
About This Site
Claim Prep Guide is operated from Ontario, Canada and written specifically for US insurance policyholders. Our content covers US insurance claim processes, US state insurance regulations, and US insurer standard practices.
Information on this site is compiled from publicly available sources including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), US state departments of insurance, and publicly available insurer claim guidelines. Because insurance regulations and insurer practices vary by state and change over time, we recommend verifying specific requirements with your insurer and your state's department of insurance.
Our Editorial Process
How We Research Content
Content is compiled from publicly available sources: NAIC consumer guides, state department of insurance publications, and insurer-published claim procedures. We aim to rely exclusively on publicly available materials.
What We Verify
Content is developed using publicly available sources. Claims involving specific timeframes, dollar amounts, or percentages are qualified to reflect that these vary by state, insurer, and policy terms.
