1. To which benefit provider should I submit my expenses first?
1 To which benefit provider should I submit my expenses first?
 

The following points should help you determine which benefit provider you should first submit your expense to:

  • if the expense is for the ASEBP covered member, submit the expense to ASEBP first
  • if the expense is for the spouse of the ASEBP covered member, submit the expense to the spouse’s plan first
  • if the claim is for a dependent child, first determine which parent’s birthday occurs earliest in a calendar year. For example, if the father’s birth date is October 19, and the mother’s is October 8, claims for dependent children would go to the mother’s plan first and the father’s plan second

If you are separated or divorced, the claim is submitted first to the plan of the parent with custody. Contact ASEBP for information about which plan to forward unpaid balances to.
