Research steps

  1. Confirm that the member's plan includes out-of-network outpatient therapy benefits. Highmark says the member website benefit booklet contains out-of-network restrictions and claim instructions. https://www.highmark.com/campaigns/annual-member-notice
  2. Download the MEMBER SUBMITTED HEALTH INSURANCE CLAIM FORM, CLM-139 (R9-19). Complete every item and use one form per patient. https://www.highmark.com/content/dam/digital-marketing/en/highmark/highmarkdotcom/member/forms/medical-forms/Medical_Claim_Form.pdf
  3. Attach an itemized provider statement with the provider name and address on provider stationery, patient full name, each service date, service or supply type, and charge. https://www.highmark.com/content/dam/digital-marketing/en/highmark/highmarkdotcom/member/forms/medical-forms/Medical_Claim_Form.pdf
  4. Sign and date the certification. https://www.highmark.com/content/dam/digital-marketing/en/highmark/highmarkdotcom/member/forms/medical-forms/Medical_Claim_Form.pdf
  5. NOT PUBLISHED: a member portal or app upload path. The public form directs the member only to the offline destination on the ID card, so portal_upload is NO. https://www.highmark.com/content/dam/digital-marketing/en/highmark/highmarkdotcom/member/forms/medical-forms/Medical_Claim_Form.pdf
  6. Check claim status in My Highmark on the web or app. The exact member menu path and processing time are NOT PUBLISHED. https://www.highmark.com/employer/thought-leadership/employee-of-the-future/digital-health-experience
