We’re working to reprocess pharmacy and anesthesia claims that were rejected
As of Dec. 13, 2013, for dates of service on or after Oct. 1, 2013, Health Care Procedure Coding System codes were no longer required on hospital outpatient facility claims when revenue codes 0251-0254, 0256-0259, 0370, 0379 or 0637 were reported on the claim lines. On surgery claims, service lines with 0251, 0252, 0257-0259, 0370, 0379 or 0637 will continue to be bundled with surgery services.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan will reprocess the pharmacy and anesthesia claim lines that were rejected between Oct. 1, 2013, and Dec. 12, 2013. The reprocessing, however, may not be completed until late in the first quarter of 2014. If hospitals don’t want to wait for their claims to be reprocessed, they can resubmit the rejected claims.
