ValueOptions to administer mental health, substance abuse claims for Chrysler Bargaining Unit members
Mental health and substance abuse claims for Chrysler Bargaining Unit members will be administered by ValueOptions, effective July 1, 2014. Previously, ValueOptions was only used for precertification.
Members will receive a new identification card with an issue date of June 2014.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan will reject claims that are not submitted to ValueOptions for dates of service July 1, 2014, and beyond. Health care providers who submit claims for these services will receive a message instructing them to bill ValueOptions. Please note that BCBSM will assume responsibility for inpatient hospitalization claims if admitted prior to July 1, 2014.
Claims can be submitted directly through ValueOptions’ secure portal, ProviderConnect. If you have any questions about using ProviderConnect, contact the Value Options e-support help desk at 1-888-247-9311, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time or by email at e-supportservices@valueoptions.com.
The mailing address for paper claims is ValueOptions, P.O. Box 930829, Wixom, MI 48393-0821.
If you have mental health or substance abuse questions about such issues as claims, benefits, eligibility, precertification or cost sharing for Chrysler Bargaining Unit members, call Value Options toll-free at 1-800-346-7651. (This is the same number that was previously used for precertification, and it will continue to be used for precertification for inpatient hospitalization.) |
