Notification Of Annual Benefit Updates
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana (BCBSMT) will be updating member files with annual benefit changes over the next several weeks. As always, we encourage you to verify your patients' coverage first, using Availity® or your preferred vendor portal.
In the event a call is necessary to BCBSMT, please recognize that hold times may be longer than normal. Customer Advocates will be available for eligibility and benefit inquiries from 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. MST Jan. 2, 2020 through Jan. 24, 2020, Monday through Friday. Claims Customer Advocates hours will remain the same from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. MST. As a reminder, you may obtain routine eligibility and benefit information as well as claims status quickly by using Availity or the web vendor of your choice.
Checking eligibility and/or benefit information is not a guarantee of payment. Benefits will be determined once a claim is received and will be based upon, among other things, the member's eligibility and the terms of the member's certificate of coverage applicable on the date services were rendered. If you have any questions, please call the number on the member's ID card.
