In order to verify your identity when requesting access to the Online Services, the Online Services may prompt you for certain personal information.
If the personal information entered is confirmed, access will be granted. You agree that the use of this electronic authentication procedure is equivalent legally to your written signature.

ClaimSecure may, at its sole discretion, alter, enhance, or amend the type and nature of the access information required to access any Online Service.
As an Online Service user, you are responsible for keeping all access information confidential and preventing its unauthorized use or disclosure. It is vital that you immediately notify the ClaimSecure Customer Response Centre, set out below, if you become aware that any or all of your access information has been disclosed to anyone else, obtained by anyone else, or may be known by anyone else, or that any unauthorized use of an Online Service may be occurring.

ClaimSecure eProfile™ and benefits plans
eProfile
If your association with your employer/plan sponsor terminates, you understand that your access to services previously provided by ClaimSecure and paid for by your employer/plan sponsor may change, subject to the terms and conditions imposed by your employer/plan sponsor and/or ClaimSecure. You may possibly be permitted to continue to use ClaimSecure eProfile to access services that you previously registered for and/or paid for.
ClaimSecure reserves the right to revoke or change the condition of your ClaimSecure eProfile account without notice.
Benefits Plans and Claims Submission
For the purposes of this section, the terms “Abuse,” “Fraud” and “Waste” are defined as:
“Abuse” means practices, services or actions that, although not Fraud, are inconsistent with sound medical, professional or business practice which result in unnecessary costs to a benefit plan member or eligible dependent, benefit plan or otherwise, including payments for benefits or services that are not medically necessary, fail to meet the standard for healthcare or which were not (wholly or partially) eligible health benefits for the benefit plan.

“Fraud” means an intentional act of deception, misrepresentation or concealment in order to gain something of value, including, for example, submitting claims for services not rendered, submitting claims for services at a higher rate than the actual provider costs, deliberately misrepresenting services, resulting in improper or overpayments to providers or benefit members.

“Waste” means an overutilization of healthcare services that, although not fraud and not the result of criminal action, might directly or indirectly result in unnecessary costs to the benefit plan, including, for example, waste arising from billing and payment errors.

In addition to these Terms generally, your use of your ClaimSecure eProfile account or the submission of online claims is subject to ClaimSecure’s rules and procedures, as may be amended from time to time by ClaimSecure. By accessing and using your ClaimSecure eProfile account or submitting an online claim, you agree to be bound by and comply with such rules and procedures.
As a user of an Online Service, and where you are a member of a benefit plan administered (wholly or partially) by ClaimSecure, you agree to submit to ClaimSecure only legitimate claims, containing only true and complete information and that are absent of any Fraud, Waste or Abuse. Claims not adhering to these Terms generally or the immediately foregoing sentence specifically may be denied and your coverage may be terminated.
You certify that you are authorized to disclose and receive information about your spouse and/or dependents for the purposes of assessing and paying a benefit, if any. You acknowledge that any reimbursement of the changes and explanation of such amounts paid will be provided to the benefit plan member.
ClaimSecure will conduct audits of claims submitted for purposes that include preventing and detecting Fraud, Waste and Abuse. ClaimSecure, and persons acting for ClaimSecure, may disclose information about claims, or any personal information contained in such claims, to employers/plan sponsors for the purposes of reporting Fraud, Waste and Abuse or suspicious claims. ClaimSecure, or persons acting on ClaimSecure’s behalf, may disclose information about claims to others without your knowledge or consent or the consent of the individual to whom the information relates, as permitted by law.
As a member of a benefit plan administered (wholly or partially by ClaimSecure), you are responsible for:
  • Keeping confidential any personal identification code assigned by ClaimSecure. You are responsible for all online claim submissions using your personal identification code or personal information.
  • Ensuring you are using the most up-to-date claim form before submitting a claim.
  • Where an overpayment occurs, repaying the amount of the overpayment to ClaimSecure on ClaimSecure’s request. You agree that ClaimSecure may, at its sole discretion and without prior notice to you, deduct such overpayments from future claim payments that you would otherwise be eligible to receive.
  • Retaining original claim receipt(s) for 12 months following the date of your online claim submissions(s).
  • Where your claim is selected for audit, providing the original receipt(s) to ClaimSecure within 30 days. Failure to produce original receipts upon request may result in your access to online claims submission being terminated or notice to your employer/plan sponsor.
Banking information and direct deposit
Banking Information
By accessing the Online Services and by providing us with banking information, including financial institution number, transit number and bank account number, you represent and warrant that this information is accurate, complete and has been voluntarily supplied to us. ClaimSecure is not responsible for inaccurate or delayed payments resulting from incorrect banking information provided to us.
Direct Deposit – General

Direct deposit may be offered by ClaimSecure for your convenience. By enrolling in direct deposit, you expressly agree to have all payments resulting from an approved claim paid electronically into your designated bank account.

The timing of all direct deposit payments will be in accordance with the payment release schedules determined by ClaimSecure in its sole discretion from time to time.
If you elect to be paid by direct deposit, no explanation of benefits will be mailed to you. You may view or print your payment details by logging on to your ClaimSecure eProfile account. You will be sent an email communication to the email address on your ClaimSecure eProfile account that will advise you that a direct deposit payment has taken place, or that we encountered difficulties in completing a direct deposit payment to you. It is your responsibility to ensure that these email communications are received and reviewed in a timely fashion.
Your correct banking information is required to successfully transfer funds to your designated bank account. If your banking information changes, it is your responsibility to ensure that your ClaimSecure eProfile account is updated to reflect the correct and most up to date banking information. ClaimSecure is not responsible for missed payments to you or payments deposited into an incorrect bank account as a result of inaccurate information provided by you or the actions of third parties using your access information.
In order to protect the security of your personal banking information, we cannot alter your banking information or enroll you in the direct deposit program. If you require additional assistance, you can: (a) access your ClaimSecure eProfile account; (b) contact the ClaimSecure Customer Response Centre as set out below; or (c) contact your bank to determine your accurate banking information.
ClaimSecure reserves the right to cancel or suspend your enrollment in direct deposit for any reason, including as a result of a Fraud, Waste and Abuse investigation.
Where required by law, including as a result of court order, legal proceeding or similar action, ClaimSecure may redirect payments owing to you to alternate bank accounts. In such circumstances, deposits into such alternate bank accounts represent full payment to you.
Opting Out of Direct Deposit
If you elect to change your payment method from direct deposit to cheque, the cheque will be sent to the mailing address that you have provided.
Any previous, unsuccessful payments made by direct deposit cannot be completed by cheque. You must correct your banking information in order to allow us to reprocess any direct deposit payment. Subsequent payments will be made by cheque.
