The launch of the new Provider Automated System, which was slated for 
December 1, 2015, has been postponed. We will post updates on the 
NaviNet® web portal and the Provider News Center once the new 
system is available. 
 
What to expect 
When you call 1-800-ASK-BLUE, be sure to say ?Provider? or 
press 2 when prompted. 
  
Once in the Provider Automated System, you will need to have your National 
Provider Identifier (NPI) or tax ID number, as well as the member?s information 
(member ID number and date of birth), ready in order to access the information 
below. 
  
The Provider Automated System will enable providers to retrieve the 
following information by following a series of self-service voice prompts and 
questions specific to your inquiry: 
  
 
- Eligibility. Check coverage status, effective dates, and 
group name information.
- Benefits. Verify copayment, coinsurance, and deductible 
information.
- Claims. Obtain paid status, claim denial reasons, paid 
amount, and member responsibility information.
Note: Within the eligibility, benefits, and claims inquiries, you 
will have the option to have information faxed to you, so be sure to have your 
fax number ready during the call. 
 
For authorizations, you will be directed to a Customer Service 
representative for further assistance. This function is not available via 
self-service; however, you can enter and retrieve authorization information 
through NaviNet. 
 
A  new user guide will be available on our  
Provider Automated System web page once the 
system has launched.
