Summary
BCBS Wyoming is temporarily suspending Availity Secure File Transfer services from 5 PM July 21 for system upgrades, with full restoration by 10 PM. Multiple billing reminders are reinforced including proper HCPCS code usage and specific documentation requirements for various claim types.
Action Required
By July 21, 5 PM: Prepare for temporary interruption of Availity Secure File Transfer services until 10 PM. Immediately: Ensure proper HCPCS codes are used instead of 'not otherwise specified' codes (use J0665 for Bupivacaine instead of J3490). Stop billing G2086 and use distinct CPT/HCPCS codes for actual services rendered. ASCs must include invoices when billing L8699 for implantable supplies. Medical providers billing dental claims must include all medical signs and symptoms codes in addition to primary diagnosis.
