Billing Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield from outside Oregon, Idaho, Utah or Washington?

Usually you do not send the claim to Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield. 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 Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield for processing.

The payer ID and claims address above are for filing within Oregon, Idaho, Utah or Washington. Filing from elsewhere, use your local plan's details instead.
Prior authorizationis generally handled by the member's home plan — so Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield, 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 YVS

PPO

Under this PPO prefix, members are covered for both in-network and out-of-network care. The plan pays a higher percentage of allowed charges when members use participating providers. No gatekeeper or primary care referral is required. Verify the member's specific benefits for cost-sharing details.

POS

This prefix is linked to a POS plan. Point of Service coverage gives members a choice at the time of service: use the HMO-style in-network benefit with a referral for lower costs, or access out-of-network providers at reduced coverage levels. The billing approach depends on which option the member chooses.

Traditional Indemnity

Traditional indemnity coverage means the member has fee-for-service insurance with no network limitations. Any licensed provider can be seen without referrals. Claims are reimbursed based on usual, customary, and reasonable (UCR) charges. The member typically pays a deductible and a percentage of allowed charges.
