Our network status was erroneously terminated (a mistake made by BCBS) and I really need to speak with a human to get this rectified, ASAP! The phone number I was provided is not a valid phone number, which is absolutely ridiculous. I was directed to send an email, which I did, nearly THREE WEEKS ago and have yet to hear from anyone. As a provider, it is imperative that we get insurance issues resolved in a timely manner to be able to provide services to patients that are BCBS policy holders. Why is it made so impossible to speak with any living being at Blue Cross? The complete lack of customer service options for providers is frankly, unacceptable.
Hello, I'm sorry to hear you are dealing with this. There is not a phone number for the team who handles these issues. You will need to wait for them to respond to your email. ~ KW

A simple Google search of that number shows that it appears on BCBS communications page! How is this acceptable customer care??
I do not have a time frame for when they will resolve this issue. I'm not sure why you were given this number and apologize for the confusion. ~ KW
Then why was I given this phone number from someone in your credentialing department? "BCBSIL (Provider Network Relations): 217-862-5410 "
Can you provide an estimate on when I can expect a reply to the email ?? Or when the "case number" will be updated? This is ludicrous!! Are YOU a real person or is this just another automated reply so you all can shirk all responsibilties?
