Hi Mary,

 

Are you talking about the BCBS Medicare Advantage or Blue Plus MSHO (Medicare)?

Hello!

 

Is anyone finding that BCBS MN Medicare episodes for payer ID 00720 are requiring prior authorization?  We had a couple of clients that we successfully billed and were paid for without prior authorization but now claims have started being denied saying “precertification/authorization/notification absent”.  For some clients the requirements changed during the middle of their episode.

 

Along those same lines any help on how/where to submit an appeal to them?

 

Thank you!
