As reported in last week’s Alert, complaints from hundreds of CMA physicians forced Blue Cross to delay implementation of its new fee schedule, which was originally scheduled to take effect June 1. The new implementation date is August 6.
The new fee schedule is now available at the Blue Cross provider website.
Blue Cross was forced into this delay after it failed to provide physicians with timely access to the new rates, leaving many physicians unable to assess the financial impact that the fee schedule changes would have on their practices.
