Equitable Life is partnering with NexgenRx to provide plan members with a convenient new option for submitting paramedical and vision claims in real time.
With this new option, vision care providers and paramedical practitioners, such as massage therapists and chiropractors, can submit claims directly to Equitable Life using the theclaimsXchange® provider portal. Equitable Life can process most eligible claim decisions immediately and pay the practitioner directly.
Plan members will often know how much is covered by their plan before they leave their health care provider’s office. They will only need to pay their practitioner for any amounts not covered by the plan, such as deductibles or co-insurance.
Plan members who choose this option will still receive an Explanation of Payment to confirm the amount we have paid to them or their health care provider.
Who can submit claims using this option?
The following practitioners can submit claims to Equitable Life with the theclaimsXchange provider portal:
What do plan members need to do?
Plan members should ask their health care provider if they are registered on theclaimsXchange provider portal to submit claims directly to Equitable Life.
* Health Care Spending Account claims can be submitted via the claims Xchange provider portal, but will not be processed in real time.

Enjoy!
Best Ever Chocolate Oatmeal No-Bake Bars
1 c. peanut butter
½ c. honey
½ c. coconut oil (Menno Home used Butter instead)
2 c. old fashioned oats
1 c. shredded coconut
½ c. chopped nuts, raisins, or dried cranberries (Menno Home used Nuts and Raisins)
1 ¼ c. dark chocolate chips (Menno Home used Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Melt peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil over medium-low heat in a saucepan on the stove. (watch closely)
Remove from heat once it’s melted together and add in the oats, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, nut, raisins, and vanilla. Stir together until the chocolate is completely melted.
Pour into a greased 9×13 pan and cool in the fridge. If you’d like thicker bars, you can pour the mixture into a smaller pan.
When mixture is hardened, cut into bars and eat. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
