We won’t be re-tiering our chiropractic commercial network again this year

To help monitor and control the cost of chiropractic care, we work with Optum®, a company that assists us and our health care providers in promoting appropriate utilization in our Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan commercial chiropractic network.

Due to a change in how chiropractor data between Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Optum® is exchanged, there’s been a delay in posting updated profiling data to the Optum provider website.** As a result, we won’t be re-tiering our commercial chiropractic network based on July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020, data.

We’ll provide further communication through The Record once updated data has been posted. If you have any questions before then, contact an Optum support clinician at 952-205-3121 or a Blue Cross profiling analyst at 313-448-7371.
