Summary
BCBS Kansas is experiencing long hold times during open enrollment and directing providers to use self-service options on their website instead of calling customer service. The policy provides links to online resources for member benefits, prior authorization requirements, and policy information.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team should bookmark BCBS Kansas self-service resources at www.bcbsks.com to avoid long hold times. Use Availity for member benefit verifications and online portals for prior authorization requirements instead of calling customer service during open enrollment period.
