It is crazy, it all depends on who you chat with or talk to.  I did a chat a while back and was told it was a system issue and to allow 30 days as Optum would do a query to see what claims did not pay and then reprocess.  After waiting more than 30 days, I decided to call Optum last week.  I was fortunate enough to get a very nice person on the line who had all of my claims reprocessed, she even told me what the payment would be for each claim.   Unfortunately, I think we need to keep calling or chatting until we get someone who knows what they are doing.   What a mess over there.

Good morning,

I am wondering if anyone has had luck getting their claims that are denying by Optum for the following reason resolved.

One representative the last time told me it was a system issue and would be resolved allow 30 days to reprocess. Chatted with another rep today who told me it is not a system issue and I would need to appeal. Is everyone getting this same response? Has anyone had any luck appealing. Thanks!
