Billing Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska from outside Alaska?

Usually you do not send the claim to Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska. Under the BlueCard program, a provider treating a member from another Blue plan submits the claim to their own local Blue Cross Blue Shield plan, which then routes it to Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska for processing.

The payer ID and claims address above are for filing within Alaska. Filing from elsewhere, use your local plan's details instead.
Prior authorizationis generally handled by the member's home plan — so Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska, wherever you are.
Your timely filing limit is set by your own contract with your local Blue plan, not by the figure above. 365 days is customary but contracts vary.
To check eligibility and benefits for an out-of-area Blue member, call 1-800-676-BLUE (1-800-676-2583).

Arrangements vary by contract, and self-funded (ASO) accounts can differ — confirm with your local Blue plan before filing. See the BlueCard Program Provider Manual for the full rules.

Coverage under prefix MLY

Medicaid

This prefix is associated with Medicaid managed care. When a BCBS plan administers Medicaid, the claims process may differ from commercial coverage: different payer ID, different claims address, different prior authorization rules, and different timely filing limits. Always verify Medicaid-specific details before submitting.

POS

POS coverage under this prefix operates on a tiered system. Tier 1 (in-network with referral) provides the highest coverage. Tier 2 (in-network without referral) provides moderate coverage. Tier 3 (out-of-network) provides the lowest coverage. Verify which tier applies before submitting the claim.

PPO

PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans allow members to visit any healthcare provider without a referral. In-network providers cost less, but out-of-network care is still covered at a reduced rate. When billing for a PPO plan, submit claims directly to the payer listed above. No referral documentation is needed.
