Extended Claim Service
The first and foremost reason a Policyholder purchases insurance is in the event a claim, that claim is processed in a swift and professional manner. With this understanding, all claims are processed through The Loomis Company of Wyoming, Pennsylvania. Claim forms are supplied in any quantity at no additional charge. All claim forms have filing instructions and a toll free (800) number for claim inquiries or filing help. Copies of all EOB's (explanation of benefits) and denial letters will be sent to the appropriate Policyholder official or agent. Monthly claim detail reports for each Policyholder will also be mailed. Policyholder officials and agents will also be provided with an internet address to which they may access using any internet browser such as AOL, Internet Explorer or Netscape. At this website they will be able to use a policy specific logon user name and password to view claim information. Information includes name of claimants received, provider information and outstanding amounts, paid amounts and any information requests such as a need for a completed claim form or an itemized medical bill from a provider.
Average claim turnaround time is approximately five to ten days. No pre-certification will be necessary for claimants that must undergo surgery or other similar treatments. If a claimant or physician needs to verify benefits before treatment, that claimant or physician can contact the claims office, the appropriate agent or the plan underwriter. The claims office is a participating member of multiple preferred provider networks including 10 national networks, 85 individual PPO's, 3,000 hospitals and 500,000 physicians. A claimant is not required to seek treatment from physicians or hospitals that also participate with one of these organizations. A claimant is encouraged to seek treatment at the most convenient location of his or her choice. However, when a claimant visits a physician who is a participating member, it results in a 10% - 30% reduction of the medical bills. Most hospitals and major physician offices are members of one of these preferred provider organizations. When filing a claim there are no special requirements or procedures, everything is processed by the claims personnel.
