Blue KC Electronic Claim (837) Eligibility Edit Modification – Effective Monday, February 7, 2016
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (Blue KC) is making modifications to the eligibility edit implemented in January 2016. The new edit will verify the patient date of birth and the subscriber ID matches Blue KC eligibility information. All editing on the patient first name has been removed. This update applies to all Blue KC lines of business except for BlueCard (ITS) and Federal Employee Program (FEP).
To ensure your claim complies with this edit update and does not reject, please make sure your claim contains the correct subscriber ID number supplied on the member ID card along with the correct date of birth for the patient.
