Medical Trust

Reimbursements will be processed starting on the first business day of the month. It is intended for all reimbursement checks to be issued and mailed as soon as possible thereafter. Filing deadline to receive reimbursement is the 25^th day of the preceding month. Incomplete or ineligible reimbursement will be responded to in writing.

This policy is being implemented due to the increasing number of reimbursement requests received during the last days of the month and the need for processing time.
