I did just go ahead and call Blues. Had to give specific client before she would give any info. She said Blues(Adv) is following Medicare guidelines.

Asked her these specific questions:

RAP need to be submitted within 5 days YES.

Will pay at $0 YES.

Still need authorization thru EviCore YES.

I have no plans of sending a RAP of any kind to BCBS unless I see something published on their website. I do plan on calling them at the beginning of the year to see if anybody know what I am talking about. It seems like when I call they have no clue what I am talking about. I guess, I will see what comes of a phone call.

Hi-

What are you planning on doing for skilled Blues claims for 2021? Like the Blues(MSHO) or Blues(Adv) plans. Going to send RAPs?? I know some said they have been told by Blues to not even submit RAPs. My billing software support says they haven’t heard of any other payers changing…..With this penalty thing hate to lose whole payment because RAP wasn’t sent….
