Good Day,
I want to share an important update regarding *John Hancock *(JH) clients
and the information required for invoice submission:
John Hancock now requires all clients to enter a Policy and Claim Number
into their submission portal to submit invoices. Previously, only the
policy number was needed.
Currently we have,
- *46.9%* of JH clients do not have a claim number on file.
-
*29.7%* of JH clients have declined to sign a HIPAA authorization.
Our team will actively work to obtain the missing claim numbers directly
from clients or John Hancock. However, please keep in mind that without a
signed HIPAA authorization, our access to this information is limited.
Additionally, some clients may not know their actual claim number.
We want to emphasize the following:
*Without both the claim number and policy number, we will not be able to
submit invoices for these clients.*
This currently affects *98 clients* and will result in delays in
reimbursement until the required information is received.
To address this, the *Start of Care team* will contact the clients and John
Hancock directly to obtain the missing claim numbers. Please be advised,
however, that this process will take time, and there will be delays in
invoice submission for impacted clients.
Going forward, we ask that you *clearly inform all new John Hancock clients*
that we require both the *claim number* and *policy number* to proceed with
billing.
Thank you for helping to set these expectations early and for your
continued partnership as we work through this issue.
