Claims Status/Online Claims Look Up
To obtain information on the status of your claims, please log on to the online claims look up website or call our Provider Customer Service Line at 800-261-3371, which is available Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.
A new feature for the online claims look up is that each office will initially register for a master account and then register all other users in their office as subaccounts. Subaccounts will allow multiple users to share the same web portal access without sharing the same user name and password. The employee who is registered as the master account will be responsible for activating and deactivating employee logins. If your office doesn't already have an account, you may also register to obtain online claims status.
