We’re updating COVID-19 provider communications in preparation for end of public health emergency

On Jan. 30, 2023, the federal government announced it will end the public health emergency on May 11.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network enacted temporary measures to support health care providers and protect members during the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve been updating the Temporary changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic document as we determine which temporary changes become permanent and which will end.

We’ll continue to update the document as we make policy decisions.

As a reminder, here’s how you can view our COVID-19 provider communications:

1. Log in to our provider portal (availity.com).**
2. Click on Payer Spaces in the menu bar, then click on the BCBSM and BCN logo.
3. Click on the Resources tab.
4. Click on Secure Provider Resources (Blue Cross and BCN).
5. Under Easy Access, click on Coronavirus information.

You can also access these communications on our public website on the COVID-19 webpage for health care providers.

Continue to look for additional communications as we prepare for the end of the public health emergency.
