Just in case anyone in this process has supplemental insurance...

I submitted my medical receipt in with my last prescription batch. They gave me $100 of it back! They said they would cover what a normal practitioner would charge, and this doctor charged more.

Actually, they gave me 80% of the $100 back, but that is still $80. Seeing as the paycheques are about to end, this was welcome!

Just passing this on in case anyone else has coverage!

04/13/06 - I-129F mailed

04/18/06 - NOA1

08/30/06 - NOA2

09/26/06 - received at NVC

09/27/06 - forwarded to consulate

20/11/06 - visa in my pocket!

14/01/07 - POE

13/04/07 - marriage

27/04/07 docs sent in for AOS, EAD, AP

26/06/07 - biometrics appointment

02/17/07 - AP and EAD arrive

03/03/08 - Infopass - where the heck is my AOS interview?? No one knows!

I have no idea if I have "supplemental" insurance... but I have great insurance with work so I guess I have nothing to lose than sending in the receipt and keeping my fingers crossed!!! Thanks for the info.

Shocking! :) I have Sunlife and they suck at giving me my money back especially with dental procedures. It took 4 months and me hounding them to get $1,000 back for dental work earlier this year.

Hi there!

I just came bacl from my medical as well (will post the review in another topic) but I wanted to know what you needed to submit. Medisys at St. Clair didn't know anything about possible claims so they just gave me an invoice that stated US medical $191.50. Would that suffice? Any kind of info to get some $ will be apppreciated!

Happy Holidays!

April 27, 07-Filed AOS, EAD and AP

May 14-received NOA with biometrics appt

May 31-biometrics appt for EAD and AOS.

I would think that the invoice is sufficient, but you may want to contact your benefits adminstrator at your workplace or the insurance company directly in case they need something else.

It's as simple as the reciept. I believe it must have the Dr (or hospital) name on it. They use that information to come up with their claim codes as well as to prove it's a legitimate reciept. Mine was just out of a very simple reciept book that stated "US Medical" with the Dr's office stamp on the back. Blue Cross took that no worries.

Just an update ..I submitted my receipt from Dr. Seidens to Sunlife and they are not paying a dime .... the online claim denial states that they need original receipts (I sent them the receipt that was given to me) ... I'm thinking that they need a breakdown of xray, blood work ect. I've contacted Dr. Seidens and have left a message to see if they can provide me with a more detailed receipt.
