Ambulatory infusion centers can apply now to contract with the Blues
Applications for ambulatory infusion centers interested in contracting with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network are now available online for an effective date of Aug. 1, 2013.
As we reported in the February Record, BCBSM and BCN decided to contract with qualified ambulatory infusion centers to provide members with additional safe, convenient, cost-effective locations to receive infusion therapy.
AICs must participate with BCBSM and BCN to receive reimbursement. Physicians should make sure they refer patients to in-network AICs or other health care providers that offer infusion therapy services. Participating AICs will be identified in the provider directory on bcbsm.com by Aug. 1, 2013.
AICs interested in applying should go to bcbsm.com and click on the Providers tab:
- Click on Sign up today.
- Click on Provider Enrollment
- Select Hospitals and Facilities.
- Follow the prompts to access the application form for ambulatory infusion centers.
You’ll complete the form online, print it and fax it according to the instructions on the form.
To ensure that your application is processed in time for the Aug. 1, 2013, effective date, please submit your enrollment form as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, contact your provider consultant.
