Dear Ms. Hanley,
It depends. The insurance company has up to 120 days to investigate your claim to decide if they will accept or deny it. Once the insurance company accepts the claim, payments should begin within 14 days of the acceptance. If the insurance company denies the claim, you can request a hearing to challenge that denial, but no payments are made while the hearing is pending.
