How To Make a Health Care Claim

Electronic Real-Time Claims

Your ClaimSecure benefit card allows your pharmacist and your dentist to submit claims electronically for instant adjudication of all your prescription drug and dental claims.

Online eClaims Submission

This feature allows you easy online submission and prompt payment (maximum 5 business days) of your Extended Health Care and Vision Care claims, as well as any Prescription Drugs and/or Dental claims that were not submitted electronically by your pharmacist or dentist. Please retain all original receipts after your submission for 12 months.

Note: in order to submit claims online, you must first register for an eProfile account and then enrol in the direct-deposit payment service, which will instantly activate your Member eClaims service. Please follow the steps outlined in the eProfile™ section below to register.

Once this is done, choose ‘My Claims’ and then ‘Submit Claims’ and follow the easy step-by­ step instructions.

eProfile™

This is an online tool for members to submit claims online, as well as a tool to access information on your healthcare and dental plan. To register for your eProfile™ account, logon to www.claimsecure.com. Click either the eProfile™ Services tab on the top menu bar, select Login and then click on the Register Now tab OR scroll down the home page to eProfile™ Login and click on the Register Now tab and follow the instructions. You will need your group number (251005) and your 10-digit certificate number (as shown on your ClaimSecure benefits card) to get started.

Enrolment takes only a few minutes and then you’re ready to go – it’s that easy and it’s free.
