Effective October 1, 2010 Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC) will make available on its provider website a feature to help physicians find information when treating out-of-area BCBSNC patients. BCBSNC says physicians will be able to access medical policies and general pre-certification/pre-authorization requirements of the Home Plan in one easy step. The insurer says it is seeking to improve access to information and to improve the overall pre-claim experience. NCMS will be monitoring the development of this tool and will bring you more details closer to the implementation date.
