We contacted the insurance 15 days after we sent the claim to them.

Is my sentence correct?

 

[teechar]

It's not bad, but consider:

We contacted the insurance company 15 days after lodging the claim (with them).

We file a claim in American English.

 

[tufguy]

We file a claim in American English.

We contacted the insurance 15 days after filing a claim "with" or "to" them

 

[teechar]

Only "with" is correct.

 

[tufguy]

Only "with" is correct.

So we file a claim with an insurance company not to them. Am I correct?

 

[Tdol]

Yes. Is there any other interpretation of what Teechar meant by saying that only with was correct?
