Check Insurance Eligibility

Check Insurance Eligibility


Each insurance company, no matter whether they offer health, dental, auto or life insurance has ways to verify your insurance eligibility and coverage. Using the internet or a telephone you can quickly check your status with the insurance company to ensure you are covered.


Instructions


Checking Online


1. Go to your insurance company's website. Check the back of your insurance card for the web information. If it does not list a website you must call.


2. Find the "Members" section of the insurance website. Follow the link to the "Members" section.


3. Register for an account. You will need your insurance ID or social security number, and other personal information such as name, phone number, address, etc.


4. Log-in to your account after you complete the registration process. Your personal profile should be available for viewing. In the profile you will see your personal information, insurance ID, and eligibility span dates.


Checking Over the Phone


5. Call the insurance company's phone number printed on the back of your insurance card, usually listed as the number to check "Eligibility and Claim Status."


6. Follow the phone prompts to verify eligibility. Companies vary, but most likely there will be an automated system to retrieve your eligibility information. Some companies connect you directly with a customer service representative. Either way, you will be asked a series of security questions.


7. Provide your insurance ID number or social security number and any other information requested. You will then be able to confirm insurance eligibility.
