We’re migrating our Medicare Plus Blue℠ membership to NASCO

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan is updating its internal processes in preparation for moving its Medicare Plus Blue membership to the NASCO operating system, beginning in January 2024. The migration, which will affect the look of provider vouchers and member ID cards, will take place in phases. In January, groups that are new to Medicare Plus Blue will be loaded to the operating system. Then, in January 2025, individual members and select national Michigan groups will migrate to NASCO. In 2026, key and large groups will migrate. For more information, see the October Record articleand watch for additional information in the December Record, which publishes Nov. 30.
