- Patient's name, date of birth, address, phone number and relationship to enrollee;
- Member identification number as shown on your identification card;
- Name, address, and tax identification number of person or facility providing the service or supply;
- Signature of physician or supplier including degrees or credentials of individual providing the service;
- Dates that services or supplies were furnished;
- Diagnosis;

Where to File
All medical claims should be submitted to:
NALC CDHP

When Medicare is Primary
When Original Medicare is the primary payer, Medicare processes your claim first. Your copy of the Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) will include a statement confirming that a secondary claim has been filed with the Plan. If Medicare is primary, and your MSN does not show this message, submit a paper claim, including the MSN, to:
NALC CDHP
P.O. Box 188050
Chattanooga TN 37422-8050
CVS/Caremark
If you purchase prescriptions at a non-network pharmacy, foreign/overseas pharmacy, or elect to purchase additional refills at a preferred network pharmacy, other than at a CVS/Caremark Pharmacy, or at an NALC CareSelect Network pharmacy, complete the short-term prescription claim form. Mail it with your prescription receipts to the NALC Prescription Drug Program. Receipts must include the patient's name, prescription number, name of drug or NDC#, prescribing doctor's name, date of fill, charge, name of pharmacy, metric quantity, and days supply.
When you have other prescription drug coverage, and the other carrier is primary, use that carrier's drug benefit first. After the primary carrier has processed the claim, complete the short-term prescription claim form, attach the drug receipts and other carrier's payment explanation and mail to the NALC Prescription Drug Program.
