Where To Submit Information Within the Provider Portal
We encourage our providers to use the portal for communicating with us. We know that sometimes finding the right place within the portal to do this might be a challenge. If you want to share information with us but aren’t sure where to go, the following chart should help:
What do you want to submit? |
Where in the portal should you submit it? |
Changes to my practice that cannot be done in the Provider Profile. |
Use the Ask a Question button in the Provider Profile to send a message to Provider Customer Service or go to My Messages under the User Profile Icon menu to get to the Message Center. |
Preauthorization request or concurrent review’s supporting documentation. |
The optimal time to submit documents is when first requested.
To add more documents later, use the Reference ID to find the initial preauthorization request or notification and attach documents there.
Note: We have increased the file size to 25MB per attachment for preauthorization requests.

Care Plan updates or questions. |
Look up member’s eligibility. On Member Details page, use Send a Comment or Question button. |
Claim’s question. |
Look up the claim and use the Ask a Question button. |
Claim denial’s request for documents (e.g., medical records, operative reports, notes, invoices, test results, etc.).
Note: The portal cannot support the submission of corrected claims at this time. |
Find the claim and use the Ask a Question button. |
A Grievance. (Claim issue that does not involve a medical necessity determination.) |
First - Look up the Claim. Use the Ask a Question button to submit an initial claim inquiry.

The decision will be final.
