Research steps

  1. Confirm that the member plan includes an out-of-network benefit and that the claim is within 12 months after service under the published commercial PPO contract. https://member.excellusbcbs.com/documents/d/global/under-65-ppo-contract-with-rx
  2. Sign in, choose Submit Claims, complete the on-screen claim form, and select Send to Us Electronically. https://www.excellusbcbs.com/contact/email
  3. Prepare the provider's itemized bill with the member and provider details, credentials, tax identifier, NPI, service date, procedure or description, charge, diagnosis, and place of service listed on the downloadable form. https://www.excellusbcbs.com/documents/d/global/exc-medical-claim-form
  4. If using the downloadable MSA-1fa form, complete it and sign the subscriber certification. NOT PUBLISHED: whether this PDF can be attached to the on-screen claim. https://www.excellusbcbs.com/documents/d/global/exc-medical-claim-form
  5. Follow the signed-in prompts to submit. NOT PUBLISHED: claim-upload file types, file size, maximum file count, packaging rule, and confirmation. https://www.excellusbcbs.com/contact/email
