Under Arizona law, how soon after receiving written notice of an accident and health claim must the insurer furnish the claimant with the necessary claim forms?

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.'
