If the Member or the Member’s provider fails to submit the Member’s claim to a secondary health plan within that plan’s claim filing time limit, the plan can deny the claim. If the Member experiences delays in the processing of the claim by the primary health plan, the Member or the Member’s provider will need to submit the claim to the secondary health plan within its claim filing time limit to prevent a denial of the claim. If the Member is covered by more than one health benefit plan, the Member or the Member’s provider should file all the Member’s claims with each plan at the same time.
