Requests for Clinical Information
On the following page is a standard cover sheet for submitting clinical information
when filing an initial paper claim. Using this cover sheet will help ensure that
documentation is “attached” to the right claim(s) and will expedite processing.
You may also use this form when you know in advance that BCBSGa requires
clinical information (such as an unlisted procedure code).
If you have received a request for clinical information and if you have the claim
number, you may also use this form to submit supporting documentation. VERY
IMPORTANT NOTE: If BCBSGa has requested clinical information, please follow the
instructions in the request/letter and attach a copy of the request/letter as the
cover sheet. The bar coding helps to expedite processing!
YOU CAN FAX (IF LESS THAN 25 PAGES) OR MAIL YOUR COVER SHEET AND
INFORMATION TO:
