Dear Provider,
As HNS previously reported, BCBSNC recently informed us of its intention to add most Physical Therapy codes to the list of codes requiring prior authorization for its fully insured plans, and that this change would apply to all provider types, including chiropractors.
While we remain in staunch opposition to this requirement for HNS providers and continue to vigorously advocate for our providers to be exempt, we did want to let you know that the effective date of this new policy has been moved to November 1st for the time being.
We will continue to provide you with additional details regarding this new policy and our efforts when we have more information to share.
Sincerely,
HNS
