How do we coordinate benefits for a patient that has dual coverage?
A. When coordinating benefits for a patient with dual coverage, please submit the claim to the primary insurance carrier first. Once your office has received payment from the primary carrier, please submit a copy of the explanation of benefits along with the claim to the secondary insurance carrier. If you are unsure which is the primary carrier, please contact Professional Services at 1-800-627-3961.
