- Claim Forms: The Company, upon receipt of a notice of claim, will furnish to the claimant such forms as are usually furnished by it for filing Proofs of Loss. If such forms are not furnished within fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice the claimant shall be deemed to have complied with the requirements of the Policy as to Proof of Loss upon submitting, within the time fixed in the Policy for filing Proofs of Loss, written proof covering the occurrence, the character and the extent of the Disablement for which claim is made.

Failure to furnish such proof within the time required shall not invalidate nor reduce any claim if it was not reasonably possible to give proof within such time, provided such proof is furnished as soon as reasonably possible.
- Time of Payment of Claims: Indemnities payable under the Policy for any loss other than loss for which the Policy provides any periodic payment will be paid immediately upon receipt of due written proof of such loss.

Any payment made by the Company in good faith pursuant to this provision shall fully discharge the Company to the extent of such payment. Subject to any written direction of the Insured Person all or a portion of any indemnities provided by this Policy on account of Hospital, nursing, medical or Surgical service may, at the Company’s option and unless the Insured Person requests otherwise in writing not later than the time for filing proof of such loss, be paid directly to the Hospital or person rendering such services, but it is not required that the service be rendered by a particular Hospital or person.
