We now offer reimbursements for Naloxone kits

WellSense is committed to making Naloxone kits available at all SUD provider sites. In order to ensure SUD providers have these available, WellSense has created a process by which SUD providers are able to submit for reimbursement of kits provided to WellSense members.

Naloxone Kit Reimbursement

To obtain reimbursement for Naloxone kits distributed to WellSense members, please send the following information to WellSense:

  • W-9 form
    WellSense will reimburse you through its Accounts Payable system, not its claim system, and as such will need a completed W-9 form. The W-9 form is required only the first time a provider submits an invoice.
  • A completed Vendor Authorization Agreement for ACH Payments.
    WellSense will transmit payment via electronic means to your financial institution. Please be sure to include your financial institution details, either in the form of a voided check, or by filling out the appropriate section of the authorization form.
    Please note that the address on the ACH Authorization form will be linked to the bank account you provide. Additionally, please be sure that the address used on your invoice matches the address on your ACH Authorization form.
  • A completed invoice with supporting documentation in the form of a receipt (or copy of receipt) for the cost of the kit(s) that you are billing to Well Sense.

Three ways to submit this information for reimbursement:

Email: Accounts.Payable@wellsense.org

Fax: 617-897-0886

Mail:
Attn: Accounts Payable
WellSense Health Plan
100 City Square, Suite 200
