Indian Time - A Voice from the Eastern Door

The Akwesasne Non-Insured Health Benefits Program (ANIHB) is responsible for processing all claims for Akwesasne community members that reside in the jurisdiction of the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne and those members across Canada. The ANIHB office has been receiving numerous claims for payment from service providers (Dentist, Pharmacist, Physicians) that do not contain all the required information for processing payments. It is our office policy to ensure that all information is accurate to successfully expedite claims on your behalf. Please provide all the required information for each visit to your service providers to avoid delays in processing invoices.

It is the responsibility of the patient to ensure that your personal information with regards to billing is accurate and current. The service provider will ensure that all invoices submitted for payment contain the most current patient core data available, which includes: Name, DOB, Address, Phone Number, Health Card Number w/ valid expiration date, as well as the date of service, procedure codes and fees charged for the service provided. Please have this information available at the time of service.

If you have received a new health card with an updated expiry date, please call the ANIHB office at 613-575-2341 ext. 3242 or ext. 3241, so we may update your file and issue payment in a timely manner.
