Update: Starting Jan. 1, 2024, all DME codes will be removed from the CareCentrix HIT and AIS program

This is an update to previous newsletter articles on this topic that ran in The Record and BCN Provider News. The articles contained three incorrect HCPCS codes. Use the following article as your reference going forward.

For dates of service on or after Jan. 1, 2024, the durable medical equipment codes listed in the table below will be removed from the CareCentrix network management program for home infusion therapy and ambulatory infusion suite providers.

This change applies to:

• Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network commercial members
• Independent home infusion therapy and ambulatory infusion suite providers
  Note: Ambulatory infusion suite providers are a subset of ambulatory infusion centers.

These codes are still part of the DME benefit. Providers who participate in Blue Cross’ or BCN’s DME network can bill them in accordance with existing Blue Cross or BCN billing guidelines.

Prior to Jan. 1, 2024, we’ll update the Home infusion therapy and ambulatory infusion suite provider network management: Frequently asked questions document to reflect this change.

CareCentrix is an independent company that manages the in-state, independent home infusion services and ambulatory infusion center provider network for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network members who have commercial plans.
