Streamlined workflow for solicited medical attachments

Has your office received a request for additional information to process a claim for a BCBSGa member? Those records can now be submitted electronically using the Medical Attachments feature on the Availity Portal.

The Medical Attachments feature makes submitting electronic documentation in support of a claim simple and streamlined. You can use your tax identification number (TIN) or your NPI to register and submit solicited (requested by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia) medical record attachments.

 

Our solicited Medical Attachments feature supports an unlimited number of document attachments for each submission, and can handle .tiff, .jpg and .pdf attachments.  Once your office receives a letter requesting additional documentation, you can send up to 10 attachments through the portal for each claim. The maximum file size is 10MB per attachment and file sizes larger than 10MB can be split into smaller ones.
