UHCIC was licensed as a life and health insurance company to write accident and health insurance.  The company provided health care coverage to approximately 37,500 Medicare recipients as of February 2013.

INTEREST CLAIMS
​Why am I getting this Notice of Determination?  I don't remember filing an interest claim.

Under the interest claim methodology approved by the court, the Department filed a Class 10 interest claim on behalf of each of the claimants with an allowed claim in Classes 1 to 9.

What is the methodology the Department used regarding the interest claims?

The Department's methodology for calculating and reporting interest claims was approved by court order on August 19, 2022.  The motion and the order are available at the bottom of this page under “Related Documents", “Court Documents".

The methodology included:
  • Establishing a Class 10 interest claim for each of the claimants with an allowed claim in Classes 1 through 9;
  • Establishing the start and end dates for the interest accrual period:
    • Pursuant to s. 631.271(1)(j) Florida Statutes, interest accrues from 4/1/2013 (the date the UHCIC liquidation order became effective) through and including the date the Court approved the distribution of a claim in Classes 1-9.

  • Establishing that the interest calculation will be a simple interest calculation.
  • Reporting the Department's recommendations regarding each interest claim in an interim claims report for approval by the Court
    • This was done in the 5th Interim Claims Report.  The motion and the order are available at the bottom of this page under “Related Documents", “Court Documents".
  • Providing notice to each claimant of the amount recommended on their interest claim and the deadline and process for filing any objections.
  

I am a medical provider and I don't know to which patient this interest claim relates. Do I need to know the applicable patient account to know that the interest calculation is correct?
 
No.  Patient level detail was not part of the methodology for calculating the interest amount.

How do I know that the interest calculation for my claim is correct?

The calculation of each interest claim is tied to the date the court entered an order approving a distribution on the claimant's underlying approved claim in Classes 1-9.  There have been four distributions.  The approved interest calculation for each  distribution is published in Composite Exhibit B of the 8/16/22 Motion to Approve Methodology & Plan for Calculating Interest Claims. The motion is available at the bottom of this page under “Related Documents", “Court Documents".

If you need further information regarding the calculation of your interest claim, please send your request to the Department using the Contact Us Form

I never received my initial distribution check.  Does that affect the interest calculation?

No.

Another medical provider told me that he/she received an NOD for an interest claim but I did not receive one.  Do I have an interest claim?

Under the interest claim methodology approved by the court, the only claimants that are eligible to have a Class 10 interest claim are those claimants with an allowed claim in Classes 1 to 9.  If you did not receive an NOD but think that one should have been sent to you, please send your request to the Department using the Contact Us Form

 I don't remember receiving a distribution check. Can you check to see if one was sent to me?

Please send your request to the Department using the Contact Us Form

What are reasons why I may not have received a distribution check that I am owed?

 The Department may not have been able to send a distribution check even if payment was initially authorized by the Court.  The Department also may have tried to send a distribution check but it was returned as undeliverable.  Reasons why a distribution check may not be reflected as having been paid include:
  • Mailing address information on file was incorrect or undeliverable;
  • W9 information was not provided or did not match the underlying claim information;
  • A check was mailed but was never cashed.
 If your records reflect that I have not received a distribution check that I am owed, can I receive it now?

Assignment of Claims

Assignment of Claims
Some companies specialize in purchasing claims and interests in distressed situations (specifically bankruptcies, liquidations and insolvent estates).  Some claimants who have filed a claim in a receivership have received letters from such companies.
Such companies may submit public records requests asking for claims data which includes medical providers' claims information if they comply with the provisions of Florida Statute 631.195.​

The decision of whether or not to accept the offer is entirely that of the claimant. The Receiver does not instruct, offer advice or make any comments to influence the claimant's decision. Financial information regarding claims distributions and payments published on the Receiver's website can assist the claimant in making an independent and informed decision regarding the sale of the claim. The purchase price being offered in exchange for the assignment may differ from the amount ultimately distributed in the receivership proceeding with respect to the claim.

Once the claim has been properly assigned, the Receiver's records will be permanently changed and the claimant will no longer have any title, interest or rights to the claim including future mailings and distributions, if they occur. The forms required to assign the claim are available here.

Should you have any questions regarding this information or regarding the claim process, please visit our website at www.myfloridacfo.com/division/receiver  or call Consumer Services at (800) 882-3054 (Florida calls only) or (850) 413-3132 (if outside of Florida).

I am owed money for services provided before UHCIC was ordered into liquidation. What is the procedure for payment of these claims?

Claims occurring in all states in which UHCIC had members which were not paid, will be considered as claims against the estate and processed by the Receiver.

 Please complete the Contact Us Form​ and the Receiver will mail you a Proof-of-Claim form.

If my company can’t pay my claim, is there a guaranty association that will pay it for me?

This type product, Medicare, is not covered under Florida's Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations.  These claims will be considered as claims against the estate of UHCIC and processed by the Receiver.

Special information for providers with policyholders in the following states: Arizona, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

They will be relying on information provided through the Receiver's POC process for evaluating claims and potential covered obligations.

Please complete the Contact Us Form​ and the Receiver will mail you a Proof-of-Claim form.

I have been authorized for medical service. Will the authorization be honored?

Medical authorizations issued to or for UHCIC policyholders will be honored.

Can Providers seek payment from former members for debt owed by UHCIC for medical services?

No.   This is called "balance billing".  Beneficiaries cannot be held responsible (or balance billed) to pay any amount more than the co-payment, deductible, and/or co-insurance outlined in their benefit summary.  Medical services rendered to Medicare recipients are governed by the federal law pertaining to Medicare contracts.  If you've received a bill from your doctor or other medical provider for claims that should have been paid by the insurance company, contact the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for assistance with the balance billing issue. 

The Receiver will mail Proof of Claim forms to all known providers so that they may file a claim in the receivership estate of UHCIC, for covered services rendered to Medicare beneficiaries before April 1, 2013.

Coverage Information

Do I have health care coverage now?

Yes.  Beneficiaries currently enrolled in UHC and UHCIC will not experience a gap in their Medicare coverage. Effective April 1, 2013, CMS automatically enrolled beneficiaries who were UHC and UHCIC enrollees in Original Medicare through which they were able to obtain Original Medicare (Part A and B) coverage. Those beneficiaries who also had prescription drug coverage through UHC or UHCIC were enrolled into a comparable Prescription Drug Plan, either Coventry Health Care, Inc., Envision Insurance Company, Humana Insurance Company or United Healthcare. Beneficiaries can learn which Prescription Drug Plan they are enrolled in by contacting 1-800-MEDICARE.

Beneficiaries impacted by the contract termination were mailed a notice explaining the changes in coverage and providing information about their new prescription drug coverage. They will also receive a letter from their new Prescription Drug Plan. Beneficiaries will be able to continue to see their current primary and specialty care providers under Original Medicare. Those currently in the hospital or receiving skilled nursing care or other medical treatments will continue with such care without interruption.

Other options open to beneficiaries:

Affected beneficiaries can choose to enroll in another Medicare Advantage or Prescription Drug Plan, if they do not want to remain in Original Medicare or the newly assigned Prescription Drug Plan. They have been granted a special election period during which they may make one change in their Medicare health care and prescription drug coverage. This special election period is in effect now through May 31, 2013. Coverage in the new plan is effective the first of the month following their plan selection.

If you or your patients need more information regarding Medicare, other Medicare Advantage plans, or coverage options from 12:01 a.m. on April 1, 2013, please visit www.medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.

If I need to go to the hospital or need to seek other emergency care, who will authorize my medical treatment?

If you have a medical emergency (you believe your health is in serious danger):

  • Get medical help as quickly as possible. Call 911 for help or go to the nearest emergency room. You do not need to get permission or authorization from your provider.
  • Make sure that your provider knows about your emergency so that they can be involved in following up on your emergency care. You or someone else should call to tell your provider about your emergency care as soon as possible, preferably within 48 hours.
  • Please refer to the letter you receive from CMS for details regarding your continued health care coverage from 12:01 a.m. on April 1, 2013.

Who is SHINE and how can they assist me?

SHINE is a statewide, volunteer-based program offering free Medicare and health insurance education, counseling and assistance to people with Medicare and their families and caregivers.  SHINE is funded through a grant from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and administered by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

I am a Medical Provider and have received a Distribution Check from the Department. What is this check for?

​Your claim was adjudicated by a third party administrator (PayerFusion). The administrator sent out remittance advices monthly as the claims were adjudicated. The check is a cumulative total of the individual claims submitted. If claims were submitted with multiple NPIs and/or multiple billing addresses, they may have been evaluated separately and you may receive more than one check.

Is there a deadline for cashing the Distribution check?

​Yes. The deadline for cashing the check is 90 days after the issuance date.

Funds related to any uncashed check after the deadline will be submitted to the Bureau of Unclaimed Property.

Do I receive interest for my distribution?
​For companies placed into receivership on or after July 1, 2012, Section 631.271(j), Florida Statutes, authorizes the payment of interest on claims in Classes 1-9 prior to making any payment on shareholder claims. The Receiver projects having sufficient assets to pay partial interest on allowed claims in Classes 1-9. The interest rate is calculated in accordance with Section 55.03(3), Florida Statutes, and starts from the date of the Liquidation Order ("April 1, 2013"), and accrues until the date the Receivership Court approves the distribution.  Judgment interest rates are published each year on January 1st and can be found at  https://www.myfloridacfo.com/division/aa/local-governments/judgement-interest-rates​

Please note that distributions are made through-out the life cycle of the Estate.

Please complete the Contact Us Form and the Receiver will mail you a Proof-of-Claim form. The deadline for timely filing a proof of claim form was June 30, 2014.

What checks were mailed on February 20, 2019?

​On February 20, 2019 the Florida Department of Financial Services mailed 125 distribution checks paying 100% of remaining Class 2 and Class 8 claims.

I have claims for both Universal Health Care, Inc. (UHC) and Universal Health Care Insurance Company, Inc. (UHCIC). Can I use the same Proof of Claim form for both companies?

No. Separate Proof-of-Claim forms are required for each company.

What checks were mailed on July 19, 2018?

​On July 19, 2018 the Florida Department of Financial Services mailed 3109 distribution checks paying 100% of evaluated claims in classes 2,5,6,7,8.

I do not know if my claims are for UHC or UHCIC, do I need to use separate forms?

If the member ID number prefix begins with PF, PM, UD or UA, you should file your claim on the UHCIC (542) POC. 

If the member ID number prefix begins with MM , HM, HR, MP, FP,SN, SA, SC, SE, UF, UR,  DV and CM, you should file your claim on the UHC (543) POC.

Your claim must be filed on the appropriate company POC form.

What if I don’t know the exact amount of my claim or don’t have all the documentation at the time I submit my Proof of Claim?

In the amount claimed field on the proof of claim form, enter "$1.00" if you don't know the exact amount of the claim. Be sure to put your NPI number on the documentation so that it can be identified and matched to your proof of claim.

I am a medical provider in one of the five states whose Guaranty Associations were triggered by the insolvency. How do I file a Proof of Claim with them?

Special information for providers with policyholders in the following states: Arizona, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Those state's Guaranty Associations have been triggered by the insolvency of UHCIC. They will be relying on information provided through the Receiver's POC process for evaluating claims and those states Guaranty Associations potential covered obligations. The five affected Guaranty Associations will evaluate and pay claims as submitted subject to Guaranty Association coverage limits and those states Guaranty Associations will then have a claim against the estate in place of the claimant to the extent of the affected Guaranty Association's payment.

I was paid incorrectly on several of my claims, can I file for the correct payment amount?

The balance of your outstanding claims may be submitted and must reflect any prior payment, credit or offset.

I received a Proof of Claim form but the NPI listed was incorrect. How do I correct this information?

The NPI number was obtained from the records of The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). You may manually correct the number on the Proof-of-Claim form. Each Proof-of-Claim form NPI number should match the corresponding NPI number on the medical claims submitted.

When will my claim be paid and how much will I receive?

The amount of any potential payment is unknown until after the amount of all liabilities has been established and all reasonable efforts to recover and liquidate assets have been exhausted. Please be advised that it may take several years before a distribution of assets, if any, is made in this receivership, due to collection efforts and litigation.

The Proof of Claim form mentions a “Secured Claim”. What does that mean?

"Secured claim" means any claim secured by mortgage, trust deed, pledge, deposit as security, escrow, or otherwise but does not include a special deposit claim, a claim against general assets, or a claim based on mere possession. In other words, if a claim is secured by some form of collateral, it is considered a secured claim.

I have several claims for the Proof of Claim form, how do I file a Master Claim?
In the UHC and UHCIC receiverships, the process for medical providers submitting multiple medical bills is different than Receiver's normal Master Claim process. Multiple medical bills should be submitted electronically to Payer Fusion, LLC and filed in conjunction with a single POC form which should be submitted directly to the Receiver. Multiple medical bills submission should be totaled and the amount placed on the POC form as the amount you are claiming.

My claim is in the name of my business. What do I enter under “Date of Birth”?

This field may be left blank.

I did not receive a Proof of Claim form in the mail and did not receive an email. How do I obtain a Proof of Claim form?

Please complete the Contact Us Form​ and the Receiver will mail you a Proof-of-Claim form.

The five affected Guaranty Associations will evaluate and pay claims as submitted subject to Guaranty Association coverage limits and those states Guaranty Associations will then have a claim against the estate in place of the claimant to the extent of the affected Guaranty Association's payment.

What happens if I fail to file the Proof of Claim form by the deadline? Will it be considered late-filed?

Claims may be filed past the claims filing deadline but may be classified at a lower "late-filed" priority.

Can you verify receipt of my Proof of Claim form?
If you decide to submit a paper proof of claim form you should send it by certified mail, return receipt requested, or overnight mail (FedEx, UPS, etc.) and save the delivery certification cards as proof of timely mailing. No confirmations of receipt of individual proof of claim forms will be mailed or confirmed through other means of communication.

Please remember that pursuant to state and federal law and/or the terms of your contract, providers are prohibited from balance billing managed care enrollees.

Medical Claims Evaluation Equitable Methodology:

In an effort to apply an equitable and cost efficient methodology to every claim and to treat all medical provider claims equally, the rates used represent standard Medicare rates. Regardless of any other prior existing contracts or fee schedules all eligible medical claims were evaluated at 100% of 2013 applicable regional Medicare rates and Medicare coverage and billing guidelines. Unbundled line items in a claim that do not meet Medicare Correct Coding Initiative Guidelines will be repriced to zero.

Special information for providers with policyholders in Arizona, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania:

These states' Guaranty Associations have been triggered by the insolvency of UHCIC. They will be relying on information provided by the Receiver's POC process for evaluating claims and those states' Guaranty Associations potential covered obligations. The five affected Guaranty Associations will evaluate and pay claims as submitted subject to GA coverage limits; those states' Guaranty Associations will then have a claim against the estate in place of the claimant in the amount of the affected GA's payments to providers.
