How To Upload A Claim Online
A simple way to submit your reimbursement claim to Flores & Associates is by using the upload file function that can be found on the main page of this website once logging in to your personal account. Although we can not accept claims or receipts via email as it is an insecure way to transmit your personal health information, we have setup a secure interface to upload claims directly to us through our website. If you have scanning accessibility, you can take advantage of this great tool! You can find the upload file link on the upper right hand side of this page. In order for your document to upload correctly, please save the reimbursement forms or receipts in black and white only, and no greater than 300DPI. Also, make sure that you save your scanned images as TIF files or PDF files. Please do not use PDF packages as your file type.
