Hi, I am from provider's office working on verifying benefit but IVR won't route me to live representative. Please help. Thank you.

Good afternoon and happy new year! I am in need of clarifying some issues with a recent credentialing and the effective date. Our Network Consultants have been largely unresponsive since September. Can you PM me so we can get a few items cleared up? We have patients waiting to be seen and can't provide services if BCBSIL can't help us get this cleared up. Thank you!
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.
Thank you
Hi Erin, I'm responding to you on your private message. ~ HC
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.
