Providers with Unused Record IDs May Be Terminated from Networks

Published May 3, 2026

AI Summary

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas will terminate providers from networks if they don't file claims using their NPI and TIN within 24 months. Providers must actively bill to keep their record IDs active, or risk network termination and need to reapply through the onboarding process.

Action Required

Immediately: Billing team must audit all provider NPIs and TINs to ensure claims have been filed within the last 24 months. Create a tracking system to monitor claim filing frequency for each provider credential. Set up alerts to file claims before 24-month deadlines to prevent network termination. If any record IDs are at risk, file claims immediately or complete provider onboarding form to reinstate canceled IDs.
