I need to submit a bunch of health benefits claims to the Federal Employee Program Blue Cross Blue Shield. From what I can tell, the only way to do this is by downloading the form, printing it out, completing it, and then sending it with receipts via the mail. Is that accurate or am I missing some way to submit claims and receipts online? |
It’s been a while since I tried but at one point you could log in to myblue and file them by sending a secure message with your claim form. They don’t advertise that and it’s not clear how to do it (and it’s possible they stopped accepting them) but it’s worth a try. |
I filled out a blank form for each member of my family with most of the info, printed, and made 20 copies of each. Now I just put the relevant date and cost and attached the receipt. It's made the process a little easier. I'm not aware of a way to do it online. |
You can probably upload them to the portal. |
You can put multiple visits on one claim form for the same provider. |
I asked specifically at the end of last year if there was a way to of it online and they said no.
Mail in is the only way if you are filing the claim. |
In years past, you could put multiple visits to different providers on one claim form, but I did that in fall 2020 and they ignored the form (without ever explaining why). I had to resubmit 5 different claim forms. So now I will only do one form per provider. |
Notice they make it hard to use the insurance/make claims.
Wonder who that benefits!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
As a Fed, I find it ironic that agencies are required to implement online/digital options to conduct business with the government to reduce burden on the public, but yet these private insurers aren’t required to offer the same level of convenience to Federal employees. |
