Submit a claim
Common questions
To submit a claim that has been partially paid by another carrier or the government program:
- Respond "Yes" to the question: "Has a portion of this expense been paid by another policy or a government program?". This field is required even if the amount paid was zero.
- Enter the amount paid by the other plan(s) under "Other Plan(s) Paid", "Government Paid", or both, depending on who paid a portion of your claim. The amount entered should reflect what is shown on the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) provided by the other plan.

Only specialty claim forms are required.
Queued means your claim is being held for processing. This has happened because you have a claim in Audit status. When a claim is selected for audit, the system places a temporary hold on all subsequent claims. Once Manitoba Blue Cross receives the requested receipt(s) for your Audited claim, all Queued claims will be released for processing.
Claims are processed in the order in which they are received.
You may submit any claim as long as the expense:
- was incurred in Canada
- is payable to you
- is for you, or
- is for your spouse or dependents (provided they have already claimed through their primary plan, if applicable).
The claim limitation period indicates the deadline to submit health or dental claims for the prior benefit year and can vary based on your plan. Refer to the Claim Submission Deadline in Coverage.
*The health spending benefit has a separate limitation period.
Ensure the claim has been submitted under their primary plan first. Then, when adding an expense:

- Enter the amount paid by the other plan(s) under "Other Plan(s) Paid", "Government Paid", or both, depending on who paid a portion of your claim. The amount entered should reflect what is shown on the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) provided by the other plan.
