Medicare Crossover

ATTENTION MEDICARE-ELIGIBLE UNITEDHEALTHCARE TRADITIONAL INDEMNITY MEMBERS: TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HASSLE-FREE CLAIMS PROCESSING.

UnitedHealthcare offers a service to help streamline claims processing for Medicare-eligible Traditional Indemnity coverage participants: Medicare crossover billing. Medicare crossover billing is a process by which Medicare pays for claims first, and then those claims are automatically forwarded electronically to UnitedHealthcare for processing. What does this mean for you? Less wait time in the processing of your claims and less paperwork — Medicare and UnitedHealthcare do all of the work!

To initiate the process, and/or for more details on how the Medicare crossover billing works, call UnitedHealthcare Member Services at 1-800-577-8567. The customer service team can take your Medicare Health Insurance Claim Number (HICN) over the telephone to start the process.
