You can also mail hard copy claims or resubmissions to:

Mark resubmitted claims clearly with “resubmission” to avoid denial as a duplicate.

You can resubmit a claim through ConnectCenter or by mail. If you resubmit through the ConnectCenter portal, you’ll need to mark your resubmission with a "7” in the indicator field. 

 

If you resubmit by mail, you’ll need to include these documents:

 

  • Claim adjustment request/claim reconsideration form (PDF)
  • An updated copy of the claim — all lines must be rebilled
  • A copy of the original claim (reprint or copy is acceptable)
  • A copy of the remittance advice on which we denied or incorrectly paid the claim
  • A brief note describing the requested correction
  • Any other required documents
