Updates to Self-Funded Plan Timely Filing Limits

08/15/2023

Starting Sept. 1, 2023, providers will be required to submit claims for EmblemHealth members who are part of the Local 389 Health and Welfare Fund within 90 days of the date of service. This time frame applies to new in- and out-of-network medical claims (professional, hospital, and other facility claims).

EmblemHealth’s self-funded groups (also called administrative service organization clients or “ASO clients”) may set specific plan claim filing limits which supersede those that apply to other members. Below are the EmblemHealth ASO clients’ specific plan timely filing limits:
