That is so ridiculous! I burst out laughing at this doctor's rant because it's the same thing I have encountered over and over. You cannot get help from BCBS. They outsource customer service to the Dominican and no one knows anything. And claim numbers where there are no claims- yep been there! BCBS needs to retool and HIRE from the USA . Train people in specialties since every specialty has different nuances. I don't even bother to call anymore because I know there will be no help.

Hi Jessica, If you would like to send us a private message, we can have provider services check on those claims for you. ~ HC

Hello, The information provided to you by KW is correct. We do need either claim numbers or the member ID numbers and dates of service in order to assist you. We request this information through a private message, as she did, due to HIPAA privacy laws. Additionally, she advised that you would need to contact provider services directly in order to speak with a supervisor, which is also correct. Because you have requested to speak with a supervisor we are unable to assist you through these platforms. She has provided you with the correct contact information for provider services, as well as provided you with links to provider resources on our website. However, if you have unpaid claims from 2024, these claims would likely need to be resubmitted, as we do not hold claims for processing for two years. If you have further questions or concerns, you will need to reach out to provider services directly. ~ HC

What happens when we pass the 45 day mark and the claims are still not processed? Why can't I speak to someone regarding this issue. I have claims now approaching the 60 day mark.

Hello. I am a provider and had spent time messaging today thru Facebook Messenger with KW for a crazy amount of time. I see they are also on here responding., so I hope I can get in touch with someone else. I could not get a straight answer and they kept giving me phone numbers, links, but I simply asked how I could talk to a human, and they would say I provided the information above but I would need a claim ID. I have no claim IDs as they were never fully processed.

They could never answer how I could actually talk to someone. As a provider, this is insane the amount of time I'm taking to get my claims paid. I asked for a superivisor as we clearly were not speaking the same language. They then told me there is no supervisor (that's unheard of at BCBS). Then they told me they wouldn't communicate with me further since I asked for a supervisor. I asked if there is no supervisor to communicate with then to please send me to provider relations They said they gave the information above (the aformentioned phone number and links where I can't talk to a human) and stated they would not reply to me further. Who trained this person? How is this acceptable to BCBS from an employee? I have worked with this company for over 15 years and have never had this type of experience or issues.

I audited my filed and found in 2024 I have over 50 claims unpaid over 22 clients. The claims were accepted for processing, were submitted on time, but then there was no communication electronically after that, no payment, nor no claim ID. KW stated I had to have a claim ID to help me. I relayed the exact same issue which resulted in the circle of no answers. I resubmitted some of the claims today, I received back a response that it was rejected since it has been 2 years past the date, even though I submitted them electronically to BCBS on time in 2024. I don't know if there was some internal issue as most the claims were between Feb and March of 2024.

So how do I get my claims paid. These were professional services rendered and billed directly to BCBS with no payment, nor followup. I cannot speak to anyone. How do I get this issue fixed and paid. KW suggested I should send all the members IDs and dates of service over Messenger or email. I would think this would violate HIPPA if that information was leaked as they are not secure channels. I need provider services to help me get my claims paid from 2024 with over 50 outstanding non payments. This is a lot of money that is being withheld as I can't get anyone to help me.

Please help me with provider services to get this issue remedied.

Thank you.

so this means that there is no way we can communicate with live representative for specific benefits and other questions?

Hi Jessica, There are often times delays in claim processing at the beginning of the year, due to plans making benefit changes. You may need to allow additional time for the claims to finalize. ~ HC

I have two patients who's claims are stuck in status 64. I cannnot get a live representative on the phone after multiple attempts. I have contacted Availity who has told me numerous times that I have to talk to a BCBS representative. Is it impossible? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Every time I ask if I can speak to a supervisor I either get hung up on or put back into the queue. And they outsource to the Dominican where I can barelt understand them.

Hello, I am a Michigan Provider for BCBS Behavioral Health. I have a client who lives in Michigan and her insurance is through BCBS IL. BCBS is taking back money for 21 sessions with this client from January 2024 through May 2025. I am unable to find out the reason why this is happening as I have been able to confirm client's continued health insurance during this time. I am able to talk to the claims department through BCBS of Michigan and they have said that I need to be in contact with BCBS IL claims department as the Michigan department cannot see on their end the reason for this clawback. I have been trying to get through to BCBS IL via the provider support number, but I cannot get through. My claim number does not match the format for claim number being asked of me. I have a 17 digit number that is the "payer claim number" and the automated system will not accept it. It keeps asking for a letter at the end. I cannot figure out how to get through to discuss the reason for this clawback. Any other avenue I have tried will not let me get through either. I am looking for help to reach a representative so I can understand the reason for the clawback on this particular client.

I am just returning form maternity leave after 5 months without pay and am currently not getting paid due to this issue. Therefore this is a time sensitive matter.

For anyone wondering if there is a solution, there is none. After private messaging, they referred me to the same customer service phone number and a link Availity with no option to speak with a human.
