Notification for inpatient facility maternity claims

July 29, 2016

As previously communicated, with the transition to our new operating platform, there could be some differences in claims processing and outcomes.

Please be advised that a notification is needed to assure proper claims payment for maternity admissions that exceed the following lengths of stay:

  • vaginal deliveries of 5 days or greater
  • cesarean deliveries of 7 days or greater

If you have an admission that exceeds these parameters, please contact Clinical Services at 1-800-ASK-BLUE to provide notification.

For any questions regarding this requirement, please contact your Network Coordinator.
