Jun 19, 2026
Summary
BCBSWY clarified that credentialed non-physician practitioners (NPPs) must bill under their own NPI rather than through supervising physicians, and their online prior authorization tool technical issues have been resolved.
Action Required
Immediately: Review all NPP billing to ensure credentialed nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other NPPs are billing under their own NPI numbers, not through supervising physicians. Update billing system settings to prevent credentialed physicians from submitting claims on behalf of credentialed NPPs. Resume using online prior authorization tool for electronic submissions.
