Anthem follows the standard of 365 days for participating and nonparticipating providers and facilities. Timely filing is determined by subtracting the date of service from the date we receive the claim and comparing the number of days to the applicable federal or state mandate.
Claim forms are available by logging into the member website at blueshieldca or by contacting the benefit administrator. Please submit your claim form and medical records within one year of the service date.
Anthem follows the standard of: • 90 days for participating providers and facilities. 15 months for nonparticipating providers and facilities.
Members have up to 180 calendar days from the date of an incident or dispute, or from the date the member receives a denial letter, to submit a grievance or appeal to Anthem Blue Cross.
Timely filing is when an insurance company put a time limit on claim submission. For example, if a insurance company has a 90-day timely filing limit that means you need to submit a claim within 90 days of the date of service.
Original (or initial) Medi-Cal claims must be received by the California MMIS FI within six months following the month in which services were rendered. This requirement is referred to as the six-month billing limit.
