Correcting and resubmitting claims rejected for member ID match error

  • Member ID (between 8-12 digits, including any dash / suffix)
  • First name (including any special characters or spaces)
  • Last name (including any special characters or spaces)
  • Date of birth
  • Gender

You can verify this information against the member’s ID card or through Member Inquiry in prism.
