The Availity® Essentials Claim Status tool offers enhanced, real-time claim status functionality to help you manage and resolve claims processed by BCBSNM for all of our members. This includes government programs (Medicare Advantage and New Mexico Medicaid), commercial, Individual Family Markets and Federal Employee Program® (FEP®) members.
The Claim Status tool is found in the Claims & Payment menu in Availity Essentials. You can search for claims by a Member ID or specific Claim Number. Claim status results provide more detailed information than the HIPAA-standard claim status 276/277 transaction.
