Final reminder: Blues retiring local system

Time is running out! Claims filed on the local system must be received by Sept. 15, 2014.

Over the past several months, we’ve reminded you that the local system will retire on Oct. 31, 2014. Since we will no longer process claims on that system, all claims filed on the local system must be submitted and received by Sept. 15, 2014, in order to be processed.

Keep in mind that you’ll only be able to view professional and facility claims on web-DENIS until Oct. 31, 2014.

As a reminder, all health care providers must follow claims filing deadlines. If you submit a claim after the filing limits, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan will not offer any special handling or filing extensions, and no payment will be due from BCBSM or the subscriber.

For more information about the retirement of the local system, please refer to the March 2014 Record.
