Home health care moratorium has been lifted

In 2019, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services lifted its home health care moratorium that had prevented new home health agencies from enrolling in Medicare and Medicaid. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan has reviewed the CMS procedures and guidelines for home health agencies and implemented internal procedures to ensure that we are consistent in our review and approval processes for new and existing home health care providers.

Home health care facilities are now eligible to enroll in Traditional, Medicare Plus BlueSM, Blue Care Network and BCN AdvantageSM networks. To submit and review required documentation, enrollment and change forms, visit bcbsm.com/providers, scroll down to Prepare to Enroll and then click on Enroll now.

If you have any questions regarding the Blue Cross and Blue Care Network enrollment and change process, contact Provider Enrollment at 1-800-822-2761.
