Michigan Offices - Final Notice for BCBSM!

 

Time is running out

Michigan providers that submit claims to Blue Cross EDI need to update their edi client, to continue transmitting. Blue Cross EDI is transitioning to a new format for claim submission. Most offices received an email including instructions and a new password from the migration team at BC EDI.

If you have received your password, but have not transitioned:

1. Update your eTHOMAS software
2. After the update is complete open EDI Client
3. Choose send and receive
4. Choose the word “EDIT” after the receiver that you use for BC EDI
5. In the type box choose “BCBSM2021_SFTP”
6. Click save
7. When you click on the receiver next time the following will appear:

The username will be your billing location code that starts with c0
Your password you should have received in an email from BC EDI.
If you have not received your password:
E-mail edimigration@bcbsm.com and include your billing location code (c0xxx) and your contact information.

Medicare and Medicare advantage payments:
In March 2020, a waiver was entered on Medicare sequestration until 03/31/2021. Medicare and Medicare advantage programs went forward with adjusting their payments systems to start deducting that amount on dates of service 04/01/2021. However, Congress and Senate were in the processes of extending the sequestration reprieve until 12/31/2021. This was completed and signed into law on 04/14/2021. This may cause Medicare and Medicare Advantages payments to slow temporarily, while they adjust their payment processing systems.
