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 legacy attachment tool?

 

  • The legacy tool will be retired soon* with access via Attachments-New now.

 

  • The history of the information you have previously submitted is still available on the legacy tool for now*.
