Filing a Claim

Filing a Claim

If this is your first claim, please complete a direct deposit form so that the appropriate funds can be deposited to your bank account.  Otherwise, Medavie Blue Cross will be unable to reimburse your expenses.  

Payment will be deposited to the bank account on file regardless of who has paid for the services.  For example, if your banking information is on file, any paid funds will be deposited into your bank account, even if your Host Parent paid for the services.  If you need to change your banking information, please complete and submit a new direct deposit form.  Please note, only one bank account can be on file at a time. Locate the direct deposit form you need here

Depending on the Type of Claim (see below), you can submit your first completed claim form along with your direct deposit form and wait for your funds to arrive!  Provider Claims Submission is also a possibility (see below) as certain providers can submit claims electronically directly to Medavie Blue Cross.  

No matter how you decide to submit your claim, don’t forget your supporting documentation!

  • Claims can be submitted by mail to the address on the claim form.
  • Claims can also be dropped off at one of the three Medavie Blue Cross Quick Pay Offices in New Brunswick.
  • A direct deposit form is only required with your first claim or if your banking information has changed.
