Reminder: Sending Medical Records to BCBSND

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.

When medical records are received with the BCBSND barcode request letter, it helps to efficiently attach those records directly to the claim or inquiry with minimal manual intervention.
