Amendments made to Trading Partner Agreement

Effective Sept. 1, the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Trading Partner Agreement will be amended to include Blue Care Network of Michigan when Blue Cross is functioning as a health plan. All terms of paragraph 14 of the TPA, which governs Blue Cross’ relationship with non-participating providers, will also include Blue Care Network.

The TPA is the document that governs how electronic data interchange and electronic transactions, including electronic claims, will be conducted between Blue Cross and its trading partner — typically health care providers, billing agents and other health plans.

No action is needed on your part for this change to occur.
