How to Submit Claims
In most cases clinics/offices can take care of direct billing by submitting eligible claims to the insurance company on your behalf. If you paid for eligible services upfront during the blackout (or your clinic/office does not offer direct billing), then there are two ways to submit eligible claims:
- Create an online account and set up direct deposit for reimbursement of eligible claims paid for upfront at clinics/offices
- Submit eligible claims by mail. Start by printing off a claims form from our Health and Dental forms page, and following the instructions on the form.
