How to submit claims and check claim status.

All claims should be routed to Surest, following the instructions on the member ID card. Please include the Subscriber ID on all claims.

Electronic claims to: 25463

Paper claims to: Surest, PO Box 211758, Eagan, MN 55121

Please ensure that all claims for Surest members are sent to the payer ID or address on the member card. Claims sent elsewhere are denied, and provider services will have no record of these claims.

Check claims status.

Visit UHCprovider.com or click to chat with Surest Provider Services to check claim status.

Timely filing

Your claim must be filed within your timely filling limits, or it may be denied. If you disagree with a claim that was denied due to timely filing, you will be asked to show proof you filed the claim within your timely filing limits.

Timely filing limits vary based on state requirements and contracts. Refer to your internal contracting contact or Agreement for your specific timely filing requirements.

Avoid claim denials.

One of the most common billing errors is easy to correct—inaccurate payer ID or mailing address for paper claims. If claims are submitted with another UnitedHealthcare payer ID (other than Surest), UnitedHealthcare will deny those claims. We don’t want this to happen to you, so please make sure to use payer ID 25463 and double-check the mailing address.

Always refer to the member’s ID card for the most accurate information on claims processing. If you have questions about how this information should be loaded into your system, please contact us using the form below.

To determine if claims for Surest members were misdirected or denied, please reach out to your UnitedHealthcare/Optum advocate, or by submitting the form below. For help with member-specific eligibility, benefit, or claims questions, please click to chat with Surest Provider Services.

Other ways to avoid delays and frustrations with misdirected claims.

You may submit claims to Surest (365-day timely filing) electronically at Surest payer ID 25463 or by mail to: PO Box 211758, Eagan, MN 55121

After a claim has been submitted, quickly check claims status on UHCprovider.com or speak with a specially trained advocate, use the click to chat feature in the portal.
