Commercial PPO and BCCHP Providers: Join Us for An Orientation Webinar

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) welcomes new independently contracted providers into our commercial and government programs networks. We’re committed to helping educate and inform you on how to navigate the BCBSIL system and online resources. Our Provider Relations team is pleased to announce quarterly orientations for providers who are contracted with BCBSIL’s commercial PPO, Blue Choice PPO^SM and/or Blue Cross Community Health Plans^SM (BCCHP^SM) networks.

These online orientations will give you flexibility to join live from your work location. Our Provider Network Consultants (PNCs) will be there to answer your questions, so it’s a great way to connect and engage with your BCBSIL liaison. Whether you are a newly contracted provider, have new staff members who need BCBSIL training, or are a provider looking for a refresher course on doing business with BCBSIL, these orientations are for you.

The orientation specific to the BCCHP plan will highlight topics such as:

• Care Coordination

• Benefit Preauthorization
• Required Provider Training 

The orientation specific to commercial plans, including PPO and Blue Choice PPO networks, will highlight topics such as:
