Paperless EOBs

How do I get claims status without paper statements?

It’s easy! You can view your Explanation of Benefit documents online by choosing to go paperless through our Universal Preference Page. When a claim has processed you can choose to get an email or text alert instead of a paper statement. You’re free to access your claims status online anytime and anywhere – even from your smartphone or tablet.  In addition to using less paper, you could also help lower your risk of identity theft and health insurance fraud.

Follow these simple steps to go paperless:

  1. Go to the Update Your Preferences Page.
  2. Input your information and then click "Find Your Account". (Have your ID card handy)
  3. Click on your preferred email address, select "go paperless" and then hit "Save".
