HORIZON BCBS OF NJ - NO LONGER PARTICIPATING PAYER WITH EMDEON/CHANGE HEALTHCARE

Effective March 1, 2017, Horizon BCBS of New Jersey (Payor ID# 22099) is no longer a participating carrier with Change Healthcare (formerly Emdeon). 

As a result, clients who are not enrolled with Change Healthcare's Provider Complete program will generate fees for claims submission, ERA retrievals and/or patient eligibility inquiries.

The following applies only to clients NOT CURRENTLY ENROLLED with Change Healthcare's PROVIDER COMPLETE program:
 
To continue sending electronic submissions to a non-participating carrier, you will not need to do anything; just continue submitting files as usual and you will be charged for them.
To discontinue electronic submissions to a non-participating carrier, you will need to:
a) Remove the Payor ID# from the carrier's "Payer ID#" field in the Insurance Carrier's Setup screen, and
b) Remove the checkmark from the "Send Electronically to" field, also in the carrier's setup screen.
 
To continue receiving Electronic Remittance Advices (ERA's) from a non-participating carrier, you will not need to do anything; you will continue to receive them and you will be charged for them.
To discontinue receiving ERA's from a non-participating carrier, you will need to contact our Support Services office directly, or simply create an e-Track, for our Enrollment and Eligibility Department, and let us know... be sure to include (1) the carrier's name, (2) the payor ID# and (3) the practice's Tax ID#.  We will remove the service and forward a Confirmation of Completeness to you when finalized.  
 
To continue accessing patient eligibility information from a non-participating carrier, you will not need to do anything; just continue eligibility inquiries as usual and you will be charged for them.
To discontinue accessing patient eligibility information from a non-participating carrier, you will need to remove the Payor ID# from the carrier's "Eligibility Payer ID#" field in the Insurance Carrier's Setup screen.
