FAQs for Providers

There are more than 40 hospitals and urgent care centers in our network including NYC Health + Hospitals, NYU Langone, Mt. Sinai, CityMD, Montefiore, Labcorp, Lenox Hill Radiology, and more.

Our network is comprised of over 34,000 providers and specialists.

We issue an Explanation of Payment (EOP) for every claim and adjustment regardless of whether payment or denial. Our EOPs offer a summary of payment or denial information for each billed service.

Both capitation and fee-for-service claims have to include a detailing of all services rendered within 90 days of the date of service. We ask our providers to kindly allow 30 days for the reimbursement of electronic claims and 45 days for the reimbursement of paper claims.

We accept both electronic and paper-based claims. Log into the Provider Portal to any time.
