# How to Correct an Incorrect Incident Date on Your Insurance Claim

## This article explains how to correct an incorrect incident date on a submitted insurance claim.

 

 Correcting an Incorrect Incident Date

If you have submitted a claim with an incorrect incident date, follow these steps:

1. **Wait 24 Hours**: After submitting your claim, you must wait 24 hours before refiling with the correct incident date and details.
2. **Refile Your Claim**:
   
     - Log in to your claims portal.
     - Initiate a new claim submission with the accurate incident date and any other necessary details.

 Important Considerations

- Claims must be reported within **30 days from the incident date**. Ensure that the incident date you provide is accurate and within this timeframe to avoid rejection of your claim.
