Health Insurance Claims FAQ

How long does it take to process a claim?

If the policy has been in force for longer than two years, it is considered “Incontestable,” which means it will be paid as soon as all of the required documents are received and examined. If the policy has been in force less than two years, it is considered “Contestable” and will be subject to further review, which could increase the processing time.

Once my claim has been processed, how long will it take to receive my check?

If you have elected to receive your payment through direct deposit, your payment will typically be presented to your bank within two business days. If you have elected to receive your payment via a check, typically, you will receive your check within 10-15 business days from the time your claim was processed.

My policy has been in force less than two years. How can I help ensure my claim is processed in as timely a manner as possible?

Provide itemized medical billing statements and complete all necessary portions of the claim forms, including listing all known medical providers who treated the insured in the last four years on the Claimant Statement.

Why do we request additional information on claims that are less than two years old?

As with most insurance companies, claims submitted on policies that have been in effect less than two years require a more detailed examination. In order to provide you with valuable coverage at competitive prices, we need to ensure that information supplied regarding your coverage is accurate. Sometimes validating this information might require us to request additional information regarding the cause and manner of death or past health history.

What is the difference between a UB-04 and a CMS1500?

A UB-04 is typically a summary associated with hospital stays. A CMS 1500 is normally associated with clinic or physician visits.

Why do we require both a UB-04 and itemized medical billing statements?

The UB-04 has information on it that is not always on the itemized medical billings or other summaries, i.e. diagnosis and procedural codes.

Why is additional verification via medical narratives (Doctor’s Notes) requested on accident claims?

Many times the UB-04 or CMS 1500 will include diagnosis codes. However, these codes are not always fully descriptive of why the visit to the ER or physician took place. Medical records from those visits are helpful as they go into more detail of the observations and conversations that took place during the diagnosis and treatment of the injury. You can request a copy from the treatment facility.

How will I receive my claims payment?

You can receive your payment via direct deposit or by conventional mail. To sign up for direct deposit: Each of your claim’s payments up to $50,000 will now be direct deposited into your bank account. Your Explanation of Benefits can be viewed electronically on the claim’s status page. Note: If the sum of claim payments in any one day is greater than $50,000, you will receive the funds paid by check. Disability claim payments are excluded from ACH and will continue to be paid by check.
