How to Make a Claim

Some providers or clinics will have the option to direct-bill to your plan, meaning little to no out-of-pocket expenses! If a clinic can't direct-bill, you must pay for the service, then submit a claim for reimbursement. Find out how to submit a claim from anywhere through the Medavie Blue Cross™ mobile app or web portal!
