Intermediaries

Once we have processed the invoice, we will send your client a claim notification confirming the amount we have paid to the provider and the amount they will need to settle directly with them. We will include details of the invoice and contact details for the provider.

Your client can make a cash plan claim online by signing in to their secure online account or by downloading the WPA Health app. In some cases, your client may be prompted to download a claim form to send to us along with the original invoices or receipts that need to accompany the claim.

At WPA, we handle extremely sensitive personal information, and we may need to communicate with your client via email which could include details of their medical problems. As such, we want to ensure that this information is transferred in the most secure way possible. Their online account provides an extra layer of protection.

The claim notification will not consider any payments your client has made to a provider, even if you have submitted a receipted invoice. The purpose of the notification is to provide your client with information on the invoice received, our payments and any shortfalls against the terms of their policy.

Depending on their current underwriting your client may be eligible for WPA Switch Underwriting. Please view our 'What is underwriting?' page for more information.

The collection date will be in or around their join date (or the specific date of the month) and this can't be changed. So, for example, if your client starts their policy on 5 January and pays monthly, their collection date will be on or around the 5th of each month.

Renewal terms are available 6 weeks prior to the group renewal date and will be issued via their preferred method of contact. However, copies can also be retrieved by signing in to your secure area of the WPA website, iZone, WPA's online portal for intermediaries.
