Summary

BCBSKS warns that AI vendor calls for eligibility verification will count against providers' Electronic Self-Serve (ESS) QBRP incentive. Providers must report all AI vendor business arrangements and provide Business Association Agreements (BAA) through the Availity portal to validate these partnerships.

Action Required

Action needed
Immediately: Review all current AI vendor partnerships used for eligibility verification. Log into Availity.com > Payor Spaces > BCBSKS > BCBSKS Provider Secure Section (Blue Access) > Select NPI > Provider Information > Business Arrangements to report all AI vendor relationships and upload Business Association Agreements (BAA). Contact BCBSKS provider representative with questions. Failure to report may impact ESS QBRP incentive eligibility.
