How To Submit Claims To Community First Insurance Plans

For Community First Insurance Plans, the practical claims workflow usually starts with electronic submission guidance and only falls back to paper instructions when the payer documents a mailing address for specific claim types or exceptions. The details below keep the workflow broad instead of reducing it to a single address.

At a glance

• Community First supports claim submission through the Provider Portal and, for single claims, through Availity and Claim MD. The portal also supports claim status lookup and claim appeals. Paper claim submissions are mailed to the Apple Valley, MN PO box listed on the portal pages.

Caveats

• The source reviewed did not list payer IDs for electronic claims.
• Paper claim address appears on portal/footer pages and may be the general claims mailing address rather than a line-of-business-specific address.
• The portal page shows claim status by member ID, claim number, and/or date of service.
