Display n lines after match found and other line

I have a file like this

Address2
DOB
PatientName

DoctorName
Address1
Address2
DOB
InsuredName
Address1
Address2
DOB
PatientName
Address1
Address2
DOB
ClaimNo2

I want to print the address1 under InsuredName & ClaimNO

Expected Output
Code:
Address1
ClaimNo1
Address1
ClaimNo2

.
Address1
ClaimNo(n)

Note : My shell is csh, I am able to print the address1 under InsuredName alone using following command

Code:
awk 'c-->0;/InsuredName/{c=1}' file
