Summary
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming is streamlining the L8699 implant billing process effective July 1, 2025. Providers will no longer need to submit invoices upfront and will bill L8699 at cost plus 10%, but implants under $750 will be denied as included in the procedure.
Action Required
By July 1, 2025: Update billing procedures for L8699 implant claims - calculate charges as invoice cost plus 10% and bill directly without submitting invoices upfront. Do not bill L8699 separately for implants under $750 total cost as these will be denied. Prepare for potential post-pay audits by maintaining invoice documentation and operative notes.
