Blue Review - Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas

Join Us for October ICD-10 Direct Data Entry Claim Submission Webinars

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) strongly encourages electronic submission of all professional and institutional claims for greater efficiency, accuracy and security of data. Additionally, with electronic claim submission, electronic reports are generated and sent automatically to confirm receipt and identify errors that need to be rectified prior to adjudication and payment. 

Your clearinghouse, practice management system and/or other vendor(s) should be able to support transactions with ICD-10 as of the Oct. 1, 2015, compliance deadline. However, if your practice management system or electronic vendor is unable to submit compliant claims on your behalf you may submit your own electronic claims one-by-one via the AvailityTM Web portal using the Direct Data Entry option. After each claim is submitted electronically, a transaction report will be returned in Availity to advise if the submission was accepted by the payer.  

We invite you to join us for a webinar to learn more. Select your preferred date and time to register now:
