Filing a Medical Claim

If you visit a network provider, your provider should accept assignment of benefits.  This means that all network doctors (and some non-network doctors) will submit your claim to the Health Fund on your behalf and the Health Fund will reimburse your doctor directly.  In some cases, a non-network provider will not accept assignment of benefits and will require you to pay your entire claim up-front.  In those cases, you must file your claim with the Health Fund.

Each year, a Coordination of Benefits form is mailed to each participant during their open enrollment period.  If you have already filled out the Coordination of Benefits form and the information on the form has not changed, you do not need to re-submit this form to the Health Fund.  Otherwise, you should fill out the form and submit it to the Health Fund with your claim. The form is available here.
