Upcoming retirement planned for legacy Medical Attachment submission tool

The Medical Attachment tool makes the process of submitting electronic documentation in support of a claim, simple and streamlined. We are now in the final stages of migration from the Medical Attachments link to the Attachments-New option.

 

What is happening to the current attachment tool?

 

  • The legacy tool will be retired soon* with access via Attachments-New option available now.
  • The history of the information you have previously submitted is still available on the legacy tool for now*.
  • Read only access to the history is in the final stages*

 

*Look for messaging on the legacy attachment tool for specific dates
