Filing an insurance claim can feel overwhelming, especially during times of stress or uncertainty. Mutual of Omaha, a trusted name in the insurance industry, offers a range of policies designed to provide peace of mind and financial protection. Whether you’re filing a claim for life insurance, disability benefits, or another type of coverage, understanding the process can make it smoother and less intimidating.

Why You Might Need to File a Claim with Mutual of Omaha.

Life Insurance Claims.

Life insurance policies are designed to provide financial support to beneficiaries after the policyholder’s death. Beneficiaries may file a claim to receive the death benefit, which can help cover funeral expenses, debts, and ongoing financial needs.

Disability Insurance Claims.

Disability insurance policies provide income replacement if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury. You might need to file a claim to receive monthly benefits that help cover living expenses during your recovery period.

Long-Term Care Insurance Claims.

Long-term care insurance covers the cost of services like nursing home care, in-home care, or assisted living. If you or a loved one requires these services, filing a claim ensures you receive the financial assistance needed to cover these expenses.

Medicare Supplement Claims.

For those with a Medicare Supplement plan through Mutual, filing a claim can help cover out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare doesn’t pay for, such as deductibles, coinsurance, or copayments.

Critical Illness or Accident Insurance Claims.

If you experience a qualifying critical illness or accident, you may need to file a claim to receive a lump-sum payment or reimbursement for related expenses.
