Navigating Insurance: Filing An Out-of-Network Claim
JCCHD | Thu, June 25, 2015 | [Autism Treatment]In our recent webinar, Understanding and Optimizing Your Health Insurance Coverage: What Every Parent Needs To Know, we outlined how to file an out-of-network claim.
We provided step-by-step instructions on filing the claim that are simple to follow, such as:
- You will receive a receipt from your doctor or clinic after you have checked out and paid for your service. Make a copy of this – one for your records and one to submit.
- Go to your insurance carrier’s website, find their “Forms” section, and print out a claim form.
- You will use the receipt from the clinic to find the coding information requested on the claim form. Fill out the claim form completely. Make a copy - one for your records and one to submit.
- Attach the receipt to the claim form and mail it to the claims address listed on the claim form.
Watch the webinar for important information like how long insurance companies typically have to process a claim, and tips on how to keep your claim records organized.
