Once we receive a new claim from a provider, we will pay, pend, or deny the claim within 30 days.
NOTE: Each U.S. state has its own required claim turnaround time that begins when we first receive a claim from a provider. The number of days we are allowed to either pay or deny the claim may vary depending on whether we require additional information to complete the claim. This time frame may also be suspended until we have received the last piece of requested information.
Payment and an Explanation of Benefits will be mailed to the provider and/or member. The Explanation of Benefits will detail how the claim was paid, including any in-network discounts, deductibles, and co-insurance.
In most cases, we will request a Claimant’s Statement and Authorization form upon receipt of a claim from a provider.
The member has 45 days to return the completed and signed form. We will close claims due to a lack of information if the member does not return the form to us within 45 days of our initial request. Encourage your clients to respond quickly as to not stall the claims process.
If we need additional information to approve or deny the claim, we will request it from the relevant medical provider(s). We may request medical records from a hospital, primary care physician, emergency room reports, outpatient reports, or other relevant documents.
Providers have 45 days to return the requested medical records to us. Note that we will close claims due to a lack of information if the providers fail to meet this deadline.
Once we have received the requested medical records, our claims examiners will review them to determine whether to approve or deny the claim.
We will finalize most claims at this point. However, there are rare cases when we will need additional information.
Denials are the result of an exclusion or the date of medical treatment falling outside the member’s coverage period.
