Summary
CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield is completing a major platform upgrade affecting enrollment, eligibility, benefits, and claims processing systems. Claims continue to be processed during transition, but providers should NOT resubmit electronic claims that were already accepted by CareFirst as this may cause delays.
Action Required
Immediately: Do not resubmit electronic claims that have been confirmed as accepted by CareFirst, as resubmissions will delay processing. Continue rendering covered services and collecting only member responsibility amounts (copays/coinsurance) at time of service. Monitor claims processing for increased delays due to claims inventory backlog during platform transition.
