Funding Advantage Explanation of Benefits 

Your ​Explanation of Benefits (EOB) isn’t a bill. Instead, it gives you information about the amount your provider charged, the amount that will be covered by your benefit plan and any amount you might owe the provider. The EOB is mailed after your claim is settled. Your EOB also is posted on the Member Self-Service Site, which can be accessed on the home page.

If the bill from your provider shows an amount due greater than your “member responsibility,” and you have paid your portion, contact Client Services at 800-825-7531.
  • ​Plan Responsibility – The benefit amount payable by the plan for the service.
​3. Service provided – Codes and a description of the services provided.

​4. Explanation of codes – Explanation of codes for discounts taken. 
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT  that members alert us to these balance bill disputes immediately so that we can work with the provider to a resolution. In some cases, the provider doesn't contact us and immediately sends a balance bill which we do not see unless alerts by our members.
