We’re granting a 90-day extension to the time limit for commercial claim submission

Recognizing that many providers were affected by the recent cyberattack on Change Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network are granting a 90‑day extension to the claim submission time limits for Blue Cross and BCN commercial claims. This includes primary original claims submitted on or after Feb. 22, 2024.

The 90-day extension ends Sept. 30, 2024. For all primary original claims submitted on or after Oct. 1, 2024, existing participation or affiliation agreement submission deadlines will apply.

The 90-day claim submission extension applies only to claims for Blue Cross commercial and BCN commercial. It doesn’t apply to Medicare Advantage (Medicare Plus Blue℠ or BCN Advantage℠), Medicare Supplement or other secondary claims.

All audit rights and other plan rules still apply.
