CareCentrix removes HIPPS questionnaire from HomeBridge portal
On March 20, 2022, CareCentrix® removed the HIPPS Questionnaire from the HomeBridge® portal. CareCentrix now accepts Health Insurance Prospective Payment System, or HIPPS, codes generated by home health agencies.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and CareCentrix made this change, which affects Medicare Plus Blue℠ members who receive services in Michigan, based on feedback from home health agencies.
This change doesn’t affect Medicare Plus Blue members who receive services outside of Michigan or BCN Advantage℠ members.
For more information about working in the HomeBridge portal, see the CareCentrix document titled Accessing and Navigating the Updated HIPPS Template in the CareCentrix Provider Portal.**
For more information about this change and reminders, see this news item on ereferrals.bcbsm.com.
CareCentrix is an independent company that manages the authorization of home health care services for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network members who have Medicare Advantage plans.
