It’s Easy to Provide Services with BCBSM's Private Fee-for-Service Model

Because BCBSM’s Medicare Advantage is a private fee-for-service plan, there's no requirement for a signed participation agreement. Instead, you can become a deemed or deemed-contracting provider.

How to become a deemed provider

• Know before providing services that the patient is a BCBSM member with Medicare Advantage private fee-for-service coverage.


• Have reasonable access to our terms and conditions.


• Subsequently provide services to the patient.


• Have a valid Medicare billing number.

Once you meet these conditions and render service, you are considered a deemed provider for that member for that episode of care.
