Claims Submission
The claim information listed below is required when submitting a professional stop loss, eligibility guarantee, or insured services claim. A copy of the original itemized bill or invoice must accompany the participating physician group (PPG) Professional Claim form. This information is required for the claim to be processed.
In accordance with the Provider Participation Agreement (PPA) Addendum, PPGs agree to pay claims promptly according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) standards and comply with all payment provisions of state and federal law. CMS requires participating provider claims to be paid within 60 calendar days of receipt. PPGs also agree to include specific payment and incentive arrangements in agreements with all downstream providers.
Only one type of claim may be submitted per form.
