Claims Filing Process for Providers and Subscribers

If I am a former subscriber or provider of SunCoast Physicians Health Plan, how do I obtain a proof of claim form to file my claim against the estate of SunCoast Physicians Health Plan?

Providers and subscribers of SunCoast Physicians Health Plan will not be required to file a proof of claim form. On October 31, 2007, a motion was filed with the receivership court requesting permission to have all claims of the providers and subscribers of SunCoast Physicians Health Plan deemed as timely filed claims without the need for providers and subscribers having to complete and submit a proof of claim form. On November 8, 2007, the receivership court issued an order approving the Receiver's motion. To view the order, please click here.

I am a provider that is owed money for services provided prior to August 1, 2007 or I am a subscriber that paid out of pocket expenses for services provided prior to August 1, 2007 that I thought would be reimbursed by SunCoast Physicians Health Plan. What do I need to do now?

Claims such as these are referred to as pre-insolvency claims. As stated above, the Receiver has received court approval to deem all claims of providers and subscribers as timely filed without the need of filing a proof of claim form with the Receiver. As a result, providers and subscribers will not be required to file a proof of claim form to have their claims considered.

How will the Receiver determine the amount of my claim as a former provider or subscriber of SunCoast Physicians Health Plan?

The Receiver will evaluate the claims of providers and subscribers based on information within SunCoast Physicians Health Plan’s company records and as a result of invoices that have been submitted to the Receiver's offices.
