Centra bills all Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) plans for inpatient and outpatient services provided all billing information is given at time of registration or admission.
Verify your BCBS information is correct including policy number and contact a customer service representative with any corrections or changes.
Submit changes online using the Update Insurance function on this site in the My Account section. Note that you must be logged in to access this function.
Patients are encouraged to respond promptly to all requests from BCBS. Failure to comply with BCBS requirements may result in a partial or complete insurance denial. Balances denied by BCBS as patient responsibility will be billed to the patient.
Certain BCBS plans require annual deductibles, an annual expense paid by the patient before insurance benefits can begin, be met before benefits are applied. Coinsurance is the portion of the total bill that is the patient/guarantor's responsibility. After BCBS processes your claim and payment is received, we will mail you a statement. Please pay your balance owed promptly.
