Tips for a smooth process

1.

Always submit documentation about your claim to the designated email or fax: noticeofclaim@getindigo.com or 1-877-878-9712. Do NOT send documents by regular mail, and do NOT email documents to another Indigo email address.

2.

For your protection and the integrity of the case, do not discuss your case, do not provide any form of payment, and do not indicate responsibility directly or indirectly to any person or party other than your Indigo-assigned defense counsel.

3.

Submit any correspondence you receive about the claim (e.g., a threat of legal action, a demand for money, a request for interview or deposition) immediately to your Indigo team via email or fax.

Remember:

Submit documents related to medical malpractice claims, now and as the adjudication process progresses, via email or fax.

Featured FAQ

What defense attorneys do you use?

We partner with highly experienced legal counsel based on the jurisdiction and context of each case. It is important to us that our insureds have a high comfort level with their selected defense counsel, so we welcome the input of the physicians and groups we insure.

How are legal costs and other claims expenses handled?

All legal costs and claims expenses are paid outside of your limit of liability. This means the full limit of your policy remains available for your protection from a judgment or settlement.

Will speaking with someone at OmniSure for risk advice cost me anything or be communicated to Indigo’s claims team?

No. OmniSure is an independent risk management consulting firm, paid for in advance by Indigo. Discussing events with OmniSure does not constitute reporting of an incident and will not meet the reporting requirements of your policy.
