What this template is for
This insurance claim process flowchart template helps operations teams, claim managers, training leads, and students explain how a claim moves from report to settlement. It includes three common scenarios — car insurance, health insurance, and property damage — with editable steps for intake, evidence collection, adjuster review, coverage decision, payment, closeout, and appeal or dispute handling. Use it to draft an SOP, train new staff, identify handoff delays, or explain the process to non-specialists.
When to use this template

How it compares to similar tools
Claim process flowchart vs SOP
An SOP explains details in text. A flowchart shows the path, decision points, and handoffs, making the SOP easier to write and review.
Simple flowchart vs BPMN
A simple flowchart is faster for workshops and training. BPMN is useful when you need formal process notation and system-level workflow detail.
Common mistakes to avoid
Hiding the appeal path
Many claim maps stop at approval or denial. Add the dispute or appeal path so staff know what happens when information is missing or contested.
Mixing customer steps and internal review
Separate what the customer does from what claim handlers, adjusters, providers, or vendors do. Otherwise handoffs become hard to diagnose.
