In the context of health insurance, a "claim" is the submission of a request for payment for services or products that are covered by the policy. There is usually a requirement that the claim be made in a certain form and on a certain form, often provided by the insurer. As such, a claim can be made by the provider, or in some cases, by the recipient of the services or product who outlaid money for the services or product.
