Actively at Work
- When a member hits 75% of their specific deductible, the employer HR contact is automatically sent an ‘Actively at Work’ form from the Level Health portal to verify eligibility on the plan
- It is important for each group to be designated an HR contact so this process can be kicked off
- A stop-loss carrier asks for an Active-at-Work (AAW) form to confirm that the employee was actively working and therefore eligible for coverage
- If the form is not completed by HR upon the time of submission, a follow up email will be sent to the HR team with a cc to the broker indicating that e completed form should be completed within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of that notice.
- Failure to do so may result in:
- A hold on claims processing, and/or
- A potential delay or impact on submission to the stop-loss carrier, which may affect reimbursement
- Failure to do so may result in:
- If the AAW form isn’t completed or doesn’t support eligibility, the carrier can deny reimbursement — even if the claim is otherwise covered under the health plan
Accident Investigation
- From the specific members page, click the tab ‘Forms’, then click ‘Assign Form’, then select ‘Accident Investigation’
- It is automatically sent out on claims that are received with accident related DX codes or if there may be any indication of third part liability
- This form is important to obtain context around any accident or injury and to make sure there are no other responsible parties relating to payments
- For Cash Pay, we don’t always have diagnosis codes to go off of, but use your best judgement as to when you assign an Accident Investigation form (Ex: broken arm, retina detachment, skin laceration, car accident (MVA), etc)
- Claims arising from a motor vehicle or motorcycle accident will be denied pending receipt of written confirmation from the applicable automobile insurance carrier stating that no coverage applies or that available benefits have been exhausted
- The Plan does not provide benefits for any injury or illness arising out of or in the course of employment. Claims related to an employment-related injury or illness will be denied and must be submitted to the applicable Workers’ Compensation carrier.
