Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must adapt call center workflow to batch claim inquiries in groups of 5 or fewer when contacting BCBS RI Provider Call Center. Consider using the BCBSRI.com provider portal for claim status checks, adjustments, and corrections to reduce call volume. Train staff on the 5-claim limit and expect potential delays when processing multiple claims via phone.
