-
The NCSHLA VP of Professional and Governmental Affairs has reached out to their HR department-A letter was sent to their team to build awareness regarding the plan transitioning back to BCBS, specifically concerning billing POS 03, 99, not being allowed. Without their team addressing this issue in their new contract it will make the transition back to BCBS very painful for their employees.

We will continue to monitor and engage with their team.
