Claims

In addition to information about how to submit claims and check payments, CareSource® offers you tools to find specific information, such as claim status and member coordination of benefits (COB) status.

CareSource accepts claims in a variety of formats, including online and paper claims.

Submit Claims Online

Providers have the option to submit claims through our secure, online Provider Portal*. You can submit claims (along with any documentation), track claim payments and more. CareSource offers this tool at no cost.

CareSource also partners with Availity to offer electronic claim submission and real-time transactions at no charge through the Availity Portal.
