Rejected/Underpaid claims

Rejected/Underpaid/Refused claims will be actioned or resubmitted within 5 business days.

Requests for Information and Clarification

We may require additional information or clarification to successfully and correctly process your claim. If we require additional information, we will send you a request within Statgo’s secure software. Please respond to these information requests in a timely manner to ensure the claims are processed promptly. Statgo offers physicians a weekly reminder email with a list of the open information requests. If a request is not responded and the claim passes the date of eligible submission, Statgo will resolve and close the claim.

Additional Information for WCB Claims

WCB provides Statgo (if approved by the client) with an electronic assessment report for reconciliation of claim payment status. However, WCB does not provide Statgo with notice if a claim is refused. For claims refused by WCB, a letter is sent to the physician’s address on the WCB file. We require a copy of this letter to take further action and resubmit the claim to Alberta Health. If you received a refusal letter from WCB, please promptly upload the letter to your Statgo account with a clear title to ensure the claim is processed within the Alberta Health submission window.

Addition Information for Private Claims

Statgo provides service to process invoices and collect payment from patients and insurance companies. Statgo does not process with any claims were potential legal action is communicated. If a patient or insurance company communicates that they cannot or will not pay an invoice for any reason, Statgo cannot proceed with processing the claim and the claim will be closed. If a physician engages with legal counsel or in any way communicates potential legal action to the patient or payer, Statgo cannot proceed with processing the claim and the claim will be closed. Statgo may provide referral to physicians to a collections agency to continue with alternative methods to attempt payment of the claim.

Statgo will make best efforts to communicate the the patient or insurance payer to collect payment on a private claim to a maximum of 2 hours of total cumulative time. If your claim requires additional time to process, we will notify you and if approved, bill an additional $50.00 per hour for time spent on the claim.

Additional Information for all Claim Types

Physicians are responsible for ensuring the legal validity of their claims. Statgo assumes no legal responsibility for invalid or fraudulent claims made by a physician. Statgo retains the right to refuse processing of a claim at any time at Statgo’s sole discretion.
