Claims, Payment, Reimbursement, and Medical Policies

Claims, Payment, and Reimbursement Policies

Highmark Health Options processes medical expenses upon receipt of a correctly completed CMS-1500 form for professional services and upon receipt of a correctly completed UB-04 form for hospital or facility expenses. Paper claim forms must be submitted on original red claim forms. A claim without valid, legible information in all mandatory categories is subject to rejection or denial. To ensure reimbursement to the correct payee, the group NPI must be included on every claim. Refer to the Provider Manual for additional Claims information.
