CMS Adds Place of Service Code

CMS Adds Place of Service Code

Effective 1/1/2024, a new Place of Service (POS) 27 code will be available for claims billing. The new POS code describes a non-permanent location on the street or found environment, not described by any other POS code, where health professionals provide preventive, screening, diagnostic, and/or treatment services to unsheltered unhoused individuals.

Upon billing of this POS, records may be required for validation of correct billing.

Tip: If services are rendered in a homeless shelter, please use POS 04.


Faxed Authorization Requests Limited

Effective 12/15/2023, BCBSWY will no longer accept voicemail, mail, or faxed submissions for authorization requests except for the following items:

  • Any FEP authorization not accepted in Availity.
  • Any authorization triggering an error in Availity that has been reported to Provider Relations by calling 1-888-666-5188.
  • Any authorization for transplant services.
  • Any authorization for our pharmacy team.

All authorizations must be submitted through Availity.
