Summary
BCBSRI will administratively terminate provider agreements for providers who haven't submitted claims for one year, with terminations occurring twice yearly on August 1 and February 1. Providers receive 90-day written notice and must go through standard credentialing to rejoin if terminated.
Action Required
Immediately: Contact inactiveproviders@bcbsri.org if your practice received a termination notice but wishes to remain a BCBSRI participating provider. Billing team should ensure claims are submitted regularly to avoid future automatic terminations during the February 1 and August 1 review cycles.
