Why does MedCost require group name and group number on claims?
Sometimes duplicate policy numbers are assigned by the claim administrators. MedCost often has no control over the policy numbers assigned. Therefore, when the group name is supplied on the claim along with the policy number, we are able to process your claim under the correct policy/group. This ensures that the claim is delivered to the correct claim administrator for payment. When the group name is not given on a claim that is filed with a duplicate policy number, the claim is returned to the provider for this information, creating unnecessary delay.
