Medicare Advantage contract numbers include new alpha prefix

All Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan’s Medicare Plus Blue PPOSM and Medicare Plus Blue Group PPOSM member identification cards will have the new alpha prefix of XYL, starting Jan. 1, 2013.

Remember to include this prefix as part of the contract number on claims and other records submitted to BCBSM. If a member gives you an ID card with the old prefix of XYO, please ask the member for his or her new ID card that shows the XYL prefix.

If you have any questions, please contact your provider consultant.
