Universal Insurance Claim Form

Before downloading this form, please be aware: we are not contracted with any insurance providers, nor do we guarantee that you will receive reimbursement. We strongly recommend that you check with your insurance company before making a purchase if you intend to seek reimbursement. While we provide a Universal Claim Form for your convenience, it is your responsibility to submit the form and verify eligibility with your insurer. We do provide a Universal Claim Form that you can download [here] if you wish to try and get reimbursed yourself.

Insurance billing using a Universal Claim Form (UCF) involves submitting a standardized document to your insurance provider to request reimbursement for medical expenses. However, it is not guaranteed that you will be reimbursed, and we are not implying that you will be. It is important to check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage and eligibility for reimbursement, especially for durable medical equipment (DME) like CPAP machines and supplies.

Here’s how the process typically works:

1. Obtain a Universal Claim Form

The UCF is usually provided by your insurance company or available on their website. The form includes sections to detail the medical services or products you've received, such as CPAP supplies, and what you're seeking reimbursement for.

2. Complete the Form

• Personal Information: Enter your personal details, including your name, insurance policy number, and contact information.
• Provider Information: Include details of the healthcare provider or supplier (such as USA Medical Supply), like their name, address, and tax identification number (TIN).
• Service Details: Provide specific information about the medical service or product. For CPAP equipment, this might include the model number, date of purchase, and a description of the equipment (e.g., CPAP machine, mask, tubing).
• Cost and Charges: Indicate the total cost, including what you've already paid out-of-pocket.

3. Attach Supporting Documentation

• Receipts: Attach copies of receipts for the medical service or product you've purchased.
• Prescription: If required, include a copy of the prescription from your healthcare provider for the CPAP equipment.
• Explanation of Benefits (EOB): If your insurance company has already processed part of the claim, include any EOB documents that detail what they have paid and what remains your responsibility.

4. Submit the Claim Form

Send the completed form and all supporting documentation to the address provided by your insurance company. Some insurers may allow you to submit the form electronically, while others may require it to be mailed.

5. Review and Processing

Once submitted, your insurance company will review the claim and determine the amount of reimbursement based on your policy’s coverage for durable medical equipment (DME), such as CPAP machines and supplies. The insurer may contact you or the supplier if more information is needed.

6. Receive Reimbursement

After approval, the insurance company will send you a reimbursement check or direct deposit for the amount they cover, minus any deductibles or co-payments.

Things to Note:

• Coverage Varies: Insurance policies differ in their coverage for DME, so check with your provider to understand your benefits.
• Out-of-Network Providers: If your supplier is out-of-network, you might receive partial or no reimbursement.
• Time Limit: Ensure you submit the claim within the time frame allowed by your insurance provider, as delays can result in denial.

Please remember, reimbursement is not guaranteed. You need to verify all details with your insurance provider.

Additionally, we do accept HSA/FSA payments, which you may be able to use to cover the cost of CPAP equipment and supplies.
