Are resubmitted claims mailed
When a claim is resubmitted, the process and mailing procedures may vary depending on the insurance company, the type of claim, and the reason for resubmission. Here are some general guidelines:
- Electronic resubmission: Many insurance companies allow claims to be resubmitted electronically through their online portals or claims management systems. In this case, the claimant or their representative (e.g., a healthcare provider) can upload the revised claim information and supporting documentation online.
- Mailed resubmission: If the claim cannot be resubmitted electronically, it may be mailed to the insurance company. In this case, the claimant or their representative will need to prepare a new claim form or attach the revised information to the original claim form and mail it to the insurance company.
- Special handling: If the claim is being resubmitted due to a specific issue, such as a denied claim or a request for additional information, the insurance company may have a special process for handling these types of claims. In this case, the claimant or their representative may need to follow specific instructions or use a specific form for resubmission.
To confirm whether a resubmitted claim will be mailed, you can:
- Check the insurance company's website or claims management system for electronic resubmission options.
- Contact the insurance company's claims department directly to ask about their resubmission process and any specific requirements.
- Review the insurance company's claims processing manual or policy documents for guidance on resubmitting claims.
Remember to always keep a record of the resubmitted claim, including the date sent, the method of submission (electronic or mailed), and any supporting documentation.
