Need information about how to contact provider services for questions about member benefits or claims.
Hi
I work for a provider and part of my job is calling BCBS to confirm eligibility and benefits for patients. I absolutely need to speak to a real person when I call, not just an automated voice message. I have very specific questions about a patients plan that an automated voice can't do.
I constantly have issues with getting ahold of a real person however. When I ask for a person to the automated voice, I am told "Transfer to a representative is not allowed"
So what am I supposed to do? I try everything I can to get a hold of someone and get nothing every single time. I need a direct line to someone or advice on how to get around the voice automated message. Please help.
My secret tip is to call the provider line (800-972-8088 is the number I use). When asked for the patient's DOB, enter it incorrectly three times. After the third time, the automated system will transfer you to a live representative. I hope this helps!
