The complaint should include:

- The complete name, address, and phone number of the plan;
- The specific type of licensed health plan (insurance, indemnity, HMO, PPO, etc.);
- A concise description of the problem with supporting documents (see below);
- The date you filed the claim;
- The name and address of the patient, insured, or enrollee; and
- The insured's or enrollee's group or policy number.
Refer to the patient's insurance card information when filling out the complaint form. Include the following supporting documents when filing a complaint with TDI regarding a delay in claim payment:
- A copy of the patient´s health insurance identification card;
- A copy of the CMS 1500 or UB-04 claim form submitted to the company for each patient and date of service;
- Evidence of claim submission in the form of:
Electronic transmission confirmation,
Certified mail return receipt, or
Courier delivery confirmation; and
