Submission of
Claims
In-Network
Providers
An In-Network provider is a provider who has
contracted with PBH and agreed to provide services for a negotiated and reduced
rate.
When you use an In-Network provider,
there are no claim forms required. All In-Network claims are forwarded directly
to PBH by the In-Network provider. Report
claims promptly when any individual has incurred covered expenses. This Program
only covers claims that are filed within 12 months from the date the services
were provided. After the claim has been
adjudicated, you will receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) form from PBH.
This form will show the total cost of all services, what has been paid to the
In-Network provider, and what portion of the claim is your
responsibility.
Non-Network
Providers
Non-Network providers have not contracted with PBH
and have not agreed to provide services at a negotiated rate. As previously
stated, there are no benefits for In-Patient/Alternate Care services
received from a Non-Network provider.
For Mental Health Outpatient services from a
Non-Network provider, you will be responsible for paying the entire cost of the
bill. To receive reimbursement under the Program, you will need to submit copies
of your bills directly to PacifiCare Behavioral Health. PBH will determine
the amount payable by this Program, if any. The claim will be adjudicated by
PBH. You will then receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) form from PBH
indicating if benefits are payable. If they are, a check will accompany the EOB
form.
Report claims promptly when any
individual has incurred covered expenses. This Program only covers claims which
are filed within 12 months from the date the services were
provided.
Submit copies of your bills to PBH. You
need to include the social security number of the retiree, and the social
security number of the eligible dependent if appropriate. Indicate that you are
covered for benefits under the Southern California IBEW-NECA Local 11 Health
Plan.
