BCBSKS, payer ID 47163 will tighten eligibility editing August 17, 2015.

The purpose of BCBSKS tightening eligibility edits is to increase the eligibility match for the submitter and payer.  When the subscriber is the patient, editing will require a match of the subscriber ID to the last name, first name and date of birth. When the patient is not the subscriber, editing will require a match of the subscriber ID to the subscriber last name, first name of the patient and patient date of birth.
