New Online Option to Confirm Receipt Status of Faxed or Mailed Medical Records

Providers no longer need to contact Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma (BCBSOK) to confirm receipt of faxed or mailed medical records for claim processing. We recently implemented a new application in our BCBSOK-branded Payer Spaces section via Availity® Essentials for you to verify receipt of medical records submitted by mail or fax. This new functionality is just the first iteration of more enhancements coming soon!  

Steps to confirm medical record receipt status online:

  1. Log into Availity Essentials
  2. Select Payer Spaces from navigation menu and choose BCBSOK
  3. Select Medical Record Status Viewer from the Applications tab
  4. Enter the required data elements and click View Medical Record Status
  5. Response specifies if the medical records were received by BCBSOK, along with the number of pages submitted

 
For More Information
Watch for the instructional Medical Record Status Viewer User Guide coming soon to the Provider Tools section of our website. Refer to upcoming Blue Reviewpublications as well as News and Updates articles to gain knowledge of future enhancements. If you need further assistance, you can email our Provider Education Consultants.
