Find out the status of your Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota or Blue Plus claims online or through customer service.
Submitting claims to Blue Cross
If you visit an in-network doctor, hospital or other health care provider, you don’t need to submit a claim to Blue Cross. Your provider will submit the claim for you.
If you visit an out-of-network provider, you will need to submit one of these claim forms to Blue Cross (the address is on the form):
Note: Some health plans may use different claim forms.
Claim summary will be sent to you
If you owe the provider more than the copay for an office visit, Blue Cross will send you an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) after the claim has been paid. It shows what services you received, what your health plan paid and the amount you’re responsible for paying to the provider.
