Stale-Dated and Reissued Checks
Stale-dated checks If a check is not presented for payment within 180 days after the date of issuance, the check is staledated and voided. When a check is stale-dated, all paid claims under that check will also be voided. Claims must be resubmitted for reimbursement. Reissue of checks In the event of a lost or missing check, providers can request a check to be reissued by calling HPE Customer Assistance at 1-800-577-1278. It is very important that pay to and electronic funds transfer (EFT) information is kept up-to-date checks are not forwarded via the postal service. 23
