When Claims Should Be Filed
Benefits are based on the Plan’s Provisions at the time the charges were incurred. Claims should be filed as dictated by the terms of the plan for processing. Claim submissions should be filed promptly with all necessary information for proper consideration. Refer to the terms of the plan document for exact plan filing requirements.
Assignment of Benefits
By accepting assignment of benefits, the provider of services assumes both the right to payment by the Plan for services performed and accepts the limits of the Plan along with any defined deductibles and co-insurance that is required by the covered person as payment in full for the services rendered and billed for. The provider of services agrees to forgo reimbursements from the Plan or the Participant for amounts billed for the services that are in excess of the amount the Plan allows, plus any co-insurance required by the Covered Person.
Claims payment may be audited, adjusted, negotiated and/or re-priced to minimize overpayment of claims in excess of Plan allowances. If provider does not accept assignment of benefits as payment in full, benefit will be 100% of the Medicare allowable amount. The Medicare allowable amount is determined based on the date of service.
