BCBS Blue Plus Assessements

Jeremy Roelofs-Lynch 4 years ago in Payments/ERA Modules updated by Kim Ross 4 years ago 6

BCBS posted a Provider Bulliten on 4/10/2019 stating that as of 5/1/2019 we should bill the R25 Assessment with the HF Modifier to distinguuish between it and the Comprehensive Assessment. 

Yesterday we received two ERAs for DOS January - April 2019 where they reprocessed ALL of our R25's as Comps since they were billed with no HF Modifier. The communication I have clearly states it went into effect on 5/1/2019. We get paid more for our R25 so it is resulting in a large takeback.

Thoughts?

Thank you Jen. I have struggled to find out who our Contract Rep is. When I try to call and ask I am getting the run around. Any tips?

How much more does BCBS PMAP reimburse for a Rule 25?

It depends on your contracted rate with BCBS.
