Fairness in Contracting

In an effort to comply with fairness in contracting legislation and keep our independently contracted providers informed, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) has designated space in the Blue Review to notify you of any significant changes to the physician fee schedules. Be sure to review this information each month.

Effective Aug. 15, 2017, the following code ranges were updated: 90630-90688 and Q2034-Q2039. Please note that not all codes in these ranges were updated.

The information above is not intended to be an exhaustive listing of all the changes. Annual and quarterly fee schedule updates can also be requested by using the Fee Schedule Request Form. Specific code changes that are listed above can also be obtained by downloading the Fee Schedule Request Form and specifically requesting the updates on the codes listed in the Blue Review. The form is available on the Forms page in the Education and Reference Center on our website at bcbsil.com/provider.
