This form may also be obtained by contacting our customer service center at 1-800-432-3990.

Payment for covered services received from a contracting provider is made to the provider. Generally, we issue one check per week to the provider.
Payment for services received from non-contracting providers are made to the member. We also make payment to the member for services provided by a pharmacy, in which the member has to file their claim. We issue checks to the member the evening after the claim has been finalized.
An Explanation of Benefits (EOB) is issued to the member for each claim processed by BCBSKS. In the event that the provider is paid, an EOB will be sent to you indicating this information.
