BCBS- Attention lab providers: COVID-19 update regarding reimbursement

Reimbursement changes to COVID-19 laboratory services codes for Commercial and Medicare Advantage programs from Empire BlueCross and BlueShield (Empire) in New York.

 

Beginning with dates of service on or after January 12, 2023, or the end of the public health emergency (PHE), whichever is the latter, reimbursement for COVID-19 laboratory services codes will be reduced for providers contracted as independent laboratory (ancillary) providers and participating in an Empire independent laboratory provider network.
