Timely Filing Deadline Calculator
Pick the date of service and your payer's filing window, and see the filing deadline and how many days are left. Runs in your browser; nothing is stored or sent.
Statutory rule: claims must be filed within 12 months of the date of service.
Pick a date of service and a payer window to see the filing deadline.
Important: Informational only, not billing or legal advice. Medicare's 12-month window is the only statutory rule here; every other preset is a typical range, and your payer contract, plan documents, or state rules control the real deadline. Filing inside a window is not a guarantee of acceptance or payment, and exceptions (like retroactive eligibility) can change the clock. Never enter patient information.
