Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) and measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) vaccine(s) will be covered as a preventive service, subject to the member's preventive benefits as outlined in their benefit plan, even if administered outside the standard age range identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota (BCBSND) would like to remind providers of the importance of including the BCBSND Medical Record Request barcoded letter with medical records sent to us. This is considered best practice and the most efficient method to submit records.
