Provider Claim Activity Report

MedCost's Provider Claim Activity Report is now available online and will no longer be mailed. The online version is just like the paper version. It provides information on repriced and non-repriced claims (all in one report) and gives access to claims processed within one (1) business day. You can now run your reports daily, weekly or monthly. You can also choose to run all claims, or by a member name or member ID. To access this report, all you need to do is register or login in above.

Claims Repricing Inquiry

Registered providers can review information on repriced and non-repriced claims. You can check repriced amounts and get all contact information (and web-links) for over 45 payers who have their own online status sited. The "Contact MedCost" feature allows you to provide patient policy information on non-repriced claims without having to refile the claim to MedCost and make requests to have non-received claims sent to the payor.

You can demo this feature by Clicking Here!

Reference Guide

Need basic benefit or co-pay information? The MedCost Reference Guide gives you information on all active as well as inactive companies that access the MedCost PPO network. Employer name, group number, claims administrator and eligibility phone numbers are all available and accessible within seconds. The Reference Guide is available in an Adobe Acrobat PDF file that can be downloaded and saved and is available to all registered web users.

Login/Registration FAQs

Why does a supervisor or Office Manager have to register?

Medcost issues one administrative User ID. Once this has been registered the administrator can then create and/or delete staff accounts and give access to individual staff members for one or all of our web services. Your supervisor/office manager can make the services available to everyone that needs access whether you are in a small office or a hospital with multiple departments. This also allows Medcost to have a main contact person for any questions or issues concerning the website.
