For most members, if you cannot submit your eligibility and benefit inquiries online, this information can also be easily obtained through our IVR automated phone system. If you have questions or need to request a claim adjustment, a document control number (claim number) is required.
- You may access the IVR by calling Provider Customer Service at 1-800-447-7828. Hours of availability are Monday through Friday, 5 a.m. – 10:30 p.m. (MST), and Saturday, 5 a.m. – 5 p.m. (MST).
- Simply provide your National Provider Identifier when prompted* (you may speak or enter your information by touch-tone).
* Providers who do not have an NPI or are calling from out-of-state may speak or enter their tax ID number when prompted by the IVR; however, these providers must specify their provider type, specialty, and network status to receive a quote of benefits.
NPI Guidelines**
- Physician or solo practitioner must use the Type 1 (rendering) NPI number.
