Blue Shield of California facility fee schedule
The Outpatient Facility Fee Schedule applies to Blue Shield of California Facility outpatient surgery, outpatient radiology, outpatient clinical laboratory, and outpatient pharmaceuticals.
Reimbursement for outpatient services is based on the facility’s contractual agreement in effect at the time services are rendered.
To identify which fee schedule file you should use, refer to the Provider Name Fee Schedule Crosswalk link below. If you do not see your facility listed in the Provider Name Fee Schedule Crosswalk, please contact your Blue Shield Network Manager.
To calculate reimbursement for a fee schedule, you will need to insert the provider’s contractual reimbursement rate located in the agreement in Exhibit C, Section II Outpatient Services.
Open the specific fee schedule assigned to you, and follow the instructions in the fee schedule table to populate the contracted rates.
In the event your listing contains groupers not included in your payment schedule, reimbursement will be issued at the applicable rate for ungrouped surgical procedures.
