To file a complaint online, fill out the online provider complaint form, and forward all relevant documents by mail.
If possible, providers should include a copy of the Authorization for the Release of Medical Information signed by the patient with the complaint. If we do not receive the Authorization with the complaint, we will contact your patient to obtain the Authorization for the Release of Medical Information.
Regardless of how you submit the complaint on behalf of the consumer, we cannot begin assisting in the insurance dispute until we receive a completed Authorization for the Release of Medical Information form signed by the consumer.
