We’ve enhanced our Medical Record Status Viewer so you can use it to confirm receipt of medical records submitted by fax or mail to Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) for commercial prior authorization medical record requests. As a reminder, this application is accessible to you in our BCBSIL-branded Payer Spaces section via Availity® Essentials. You can also use it to confirm receipt of medical records sent via fax or mail for commercial claim processing requests.
What does this application provide?
The Medical Record Status Viewer search results will specify “Yes” or “No” regarding receipt status. If records have been received, the response will display the receipt date, number of pages, and associated group number for up to four of the most recent medical records on file with BCBSIL for prior authorization and/or claim processing medical record requests.
For More Information
