Summary
Blue Cross Blue Shield Texas updated their guidance on routine services and supplies, clarifying that providers should typically bundle these items into charges for other procedures rather than billing them separately. This references existing unbundling policies for both facility and professional providers.
Action Required
By January 28, 2025: Billing team should review current billing practices to ensure routine services and supplies are properly bundled into main procedure charges rather than billed separately. Review CPCP002 (facility unbundling) and CPCP034 (professional unbundling) policies on the BCBS Texas website to ensure compliance with bundling requirements.
