Under A.R.S. 20-1350, within how many days after receiving notice of claim must the insurer furnish the claimant with claim forms?

Why A is correct

A.R.S. 20-1350 requires the insurer to furnish claim forms to the claimant within 15 days after receiving notice of claim. This duty sits between the insured's notice of claim under A.R.S. 20-1349 and the proof-of-loss submission under A.R.S. 20-1351, keeping the claim paperwork in the claimant's hands quickly.

Why the other options are wrong

• B) 20 days is the notice-of-claim deadline under A.R.S. 20-1349, not the form-furnishing deadline.
• C) 45 days is the conditional-receipt reinstatement backstop under A.R.S. 20-1348, unrelated to claim forms.
• D) 90 days is the proof-of-loss period under A.R.S. 20-1351, not the form-furnishing deadline.

Notice, then forms in a fortnight.

Why C is correct

Under A.R.S. 20-1350, an insurer receiving written notice of a claim must furnish the claimant with the required claim forms within 15 days. This deadline keeps the Arizona claims process moving by ensuring claimants can promptly document their losses; if the insurer fails to furnish the forms in time, the statute shifts the burden by giving the claimant an alternative way to submit proof.

Why the other options are wrong

• A) Ten days is not the claim-forms deadline; A.R.S. 20-1350 sets the furnishing period at 15 days.
• B) Twenty days is the insured's deadline to give written notice of claim under A.R.S. 20-1349, not the insurer's deadline to furnish forms.
• D) Forty-five days is the date on which a conditionally receipted health policy is reinstated under A.R.S. 20-1348; it has nothing to do with claim forms.

Memory hook

Fifteen days to hand over the forms — think 'fifteen for forms.'
