New Online Tools
We have always provided our customers with the online tools to make managing their account easier, and the good news is that we
have expanded this to now include:
Online Claims Tracking
Through our online claims tracking tool, MESA, you have the ability to view/track all your claims, and access copies of all of
your claim Explanation of Benefits (the document that tells you how the claim was processed). For more information on the service
and to register, please visit our MESA page for more information.
Online Claim Form
Going truly digital, you can now submit your claim form through the Student Zone. The online Claim form is a replacement for the
old paper version (which you can still use if you prefer), and will allow you to submit the form directly online to the claims
team. For more information please visit the Student Zone and click on “Claims Information”.
