Everything you need to know about your Explanation of Payment

Your Explanation of Payment (EOP) gives you information about the adjudication of your claims. Since EOP details vary by plan, we’re offering the grid below for clarification.

The grid tells you where to find your EOPs by plan, where the payment comes from, check digit details, and when the payments are available.
