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.
Effective for dates of service on or after July 1, 2020, provider claims must be submitted within 365 calendar days from the date of service or discharge. Providers also have 365 calendar days from the date of service or discharge to submit a corrected claim.
Anthem follows the standard of: • 90 days for participating providers and facilities.
What are the timely filing requirements? Timely filing requirements are generally 90 days from the date of service. Non-network provider and secondary claims filing limit is 6 months from date of discharge or date of service.
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.
When complete, please mail to: Attn: Grievance and Appeals Department, Anthem Blue Cross, P.O. Box 60007, Los Angeles, CA 90060-0007. For claim disputes, please use the Provider Dispute Resolution form. This information is part of the permanent record. Write clearly and legibly.
