Use our new provider manual page to find updates

We want to make it easier for you to get the information you need quickly. That’s why we’re now giving Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan manual updates on our new provider page online.

To access updates on the new provider page, follow these easy steps:

  1. Go to bcbsm.com and log in as a provider with your ID and password.
  2. Click on BCBSM Provider Publications and Resources in the lower right section of the page.
  3. Click on Newsletters & Resources.
  4. Click on Provider Manuals.

Here’s what you’ll find on the new page:

  • Updates to the manuals
    We’ve created a list called BCBSM Provider Manuals Changes for 2016. The list is organized alphabetically by chapter and, within each chapter, changes are summarized by the effective date of the change.
    Use this list if you’ve already read through a chapter and just want to know if there are any recent changes.
  • Learn about the manuals
    Here you’ll find tips on how to use the manual and search for the answers you need. This is a great resource if you’re new to using the BCBSM Provider Manuals.
  • Access the manuals
    You can also access the BCBSM Provider Manual dashboard and links to the other Blue Cross and BCN provider manuals.

Don’t forget about CTRL + F
In a July Record article we shared how using the Ctrl + F keys on your keyboard can help you search the provider manuals, (Mac computeres use Command + F). Ctrl + F works on any web page or PDF document to help you with a simple keyword search. Give it a try to help you quickly find what you need.
