Step 3: Enter the date of service (the date of the expense) and documentation for proof of treatment and proof of payment.
Step 4: Confirm all the uploaded documents and information are correct and click the “submit” button.

Yes. To monitor the status of your request, log in to the Portal and select “View Reimbursement Status” on the Portal Dashboard. From here, you can see whether the reimbursement request has been paid or approved. You can also see whether your request is incomplete and requires additional documentation, or whether it has been denied. Please allow up to six business days for review of your reimbursement documentation.
The Patient Portal includes important information like frequently asked questions and additional resources in the “Help & Tools” tab. If you need additional information, please call (855) 845-3663 to speak with a TAF Patient Advocate.
If TAF requires additional documentation for a reimbursement request or to complete a routine audit, an “action item” will appear on the right-hand side of the Portal Dashboard. You will have 30 days to complete an action item. If we have your email address on file, you will receive an email from TAF about any outstanding action items. If you do not have an email address on file, you will receive a letter informing you of what additional documentation is required.
