When you have advanced healthcare costs, you want them back as soon as possible. These tips help the process.
Via the internet
Some insurers offer the possibility to submit your claims via the internet. Payment of the amount is then often faster. Make sure you make a clear scan of your account and fill in all the details.
Use the correct form
If you download the forms online, make sure you download the correct form for each claim. Sometimes you can also fill out the form before printing it out. Make use of that option, so you can be sure that your form is easy to read.
Declare quickly
Make it a habit to immediately send your claims to your health insurer. Tip:you can often declare your bills up to two years after the date. If you still have old, undeclared bills lying around, it is certainly worth declaring them.
The correct account number
Your health insurer will automatically pay out to the last known account number. Make sure you pass on changes immediately to avoid hassle.
Do not use staples or tape.
The insurance company scans all invoices submitted. A staple or tape will only get in the way.
Send the original invoice
Send the original invoice to your health insurance company. Don't forget to make a copy for your own records.
