EXL Health Is Reviewing Complex Claims

As we told you in May 2021, EXL Health is conducting post-payment reviews of complex claims from providers and facilities on behalf of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL).

Reminder: This means that for all commercial and Medicaid claims filed after June 30, 2021, EXL Health will contact you if your claim was incorrectly paid. You may be contacted by EXL Health starting in February 2022.

EXL Health is reviewing claims for:

• Compliance with the provider agreement
• Compliance with clinical payment and coding policies
• Accuracy of payment

If a claim is determined to be reimbursed incorrectly, EXL Health will tell you how to repay the funds or appeal the decision. BCBSIL may recoup payment for any claim that doesn’t meet our policies. For more information, refer to our Provider Manuals.
