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.
