: Billing BCBS Florida using BCBS Alabama Number
: mestovall44 March 03, 2019, 05:19:38 PM

Is it possible to bill BCBS Florida using BCBS Alabama Numbers.  I have bricks in mortar in Alabama but dispatch fitters to Florida.  How do I get by billing BCBS Florida using Alabama Numbers?  Is there a trick?

You need to bill the home state for BCBS.

You need to bill the state that the provider is credentialed with as the home plan, which sounds like it's Alabama.
