Summary
BCBSRI is issuing new member ID cards in 2022 for all groups that renew, which will now include deductible and out-of-pocket amounts for both in-network and out-of-network services displayed directly on the card. This will help billing teams verify patient financial responsibility more easily during registration and billing processes.
Action Required
Starting in 2022: Front desk staff should train to reference the new deductible and out-of-pocket amounts printed on BCBSRI member ID cards during patient registration. Update registration workflows to capture this information from the new card format. Billing team should use the card information to better estimate patient responsibility before services.
