Overpayments
We will inform you in writing of an overpaid claim within 180 days of the date of payment and you will have 45 calendar days (unless otherwise indicated on your Agreement) from receipt of notice to refund the money back to us. If your payment is not received by that time, we may offset the overpayment against future claim payments, or in accordance with the terms of your agreement. (TIC 1301. 132) For further details, please refer to your Curative Provider Agreement.
