BLUE SHIELD FINANCIAL RELIEF PROGRAMS 

​

Blue Shield of California (“BSC”) will extend financial support to providers to help offset the financial impact COVID-19 has had on their revenue stream. There are two options that would apply to the CHLA Health Network Affiliates. They include,  Advance Pre-payments and Direct Financial Support. These options generate monies to providers for services equal to a defined portion of their historical BSC claims or through Member Receivables (MR).

The Advanced Pre-payment is not a loan. Rather, it is an advance of future claims to be offset later. There are no fees or interest applied to the advance of future claims. The maximum advance is a percentage of historical BSC provider payments : 25% of total 2019 claims payments (equal to 3-month average). 

The Member receivables are member co-pay and/or co-insurance obligations (payables) to providers that are currently outstanding and open on the providers’ financial system as a valid receivable.

Intake, Evaluation and Approval Process

​

• Providers shall complete the application form

• Providers email application form to: Financecommunication@blueshieldca.com

• Provider requests will be evaluated every Monday and Thursday by the Program Review Committee.

• Once a request is approved, the provider must sign applicable paperwork.

• Under the advanced payment program, funds are released within 2 days after signed documents have been received by BSC.
