Watch the Mail If You’re Part of the BCBS Settlement

Posted on 02. Sep, 2009 by Editor in Provider News

Big Check in the Mail?If your physician was part of the Blue Cross Blue Shield settlement, you should expect a check by the end of August.

BCBS began sending checks on July 22. The payer will be sending out more than $131 million as part of this settlement.

If your practice properly filed a claim and you either don’t receive a settlement check by the end of August or do not receive the amount your practice expected, contact the claims administrator at jpenning@epiqsystems.com.

Cool Tool: Even if you’re not getting a check, you can still benefit your practice by understanding the terms of settlement. Next time your contract comes up for renewal, you’ll clearly understand what BCBS agreed it will — and won’t — if you check out this settlement overview from the American Medical Association.
