If you file claims after the deadline because you requested the 6 additional months of FEHB coverage, your plan will waive any timely filing restrictions. Fee-for-service plans must accept and process any claims for services received during the additional 6-month period, and reconsider any claims incurred during the additional 6 months that were previously denied for non-coverage. HMOs must provide benefits for services rendered during the additional 6 months if the provider was part of the HMO network at the time. They do not need to provide benefits if the services received during the additional 6 months were provided by non-network providers.
