1. Did you know that if you fall and hit your hand, arm, or any part of your body on your vehicle, a claim must be filed with your automobile insurance for payment or denial?

2. Shutting your hand or any part of your body in your car door must also be filed with your automobile insurance

If you are covered under a Medicare Advantage plan you don't have to show us your red/white/blue Medicare card. We just need a copy of your Medicare Advantage plan card.

If you change any information, such as secondary insurance coverage or working status, you must call Medicare at 800-999-1118 and let them know of these changes so that claims can be processed correctly.

If you have a loved one who is receiving care from a hospice provider, please let us know because it will affect how your claim is handled.
