Summary
FEP Blue Focus is issuing new member ID cards with QR codes starting November 2023 due to changing out-of-pocket maximums for 2024. Members will receive individual cards and should destroy old cards when using medical and pharmacy benefits.
Action Required
Starting November 2023: Front desk staff must accept and process new FEP Blue Focus ID cards with QR codes. Update patient registration procedures to collect new individual member cards (contract holders and family members now receive separate cards). Train staff that old cards should not be accepted once patients receive replacement cards.
