Stay informed: Update on our phased migration to new platform

Independence Blue Cross continues the journey to move its core business to a new claims processing platform over the next two years. Independence Administrators will continue to use its existing platform for claims processing, with enhanced capabilities to come.

This transition to a next generation platform will help us efficiently deliver new and innovative products and services.

As planning continues and impacts to the provider journey are identified, we will keep you informed to support a smooth transition for our doctors, hospitals, and health care facilities, with a focus on, and commitment to, service and stability. We will continue to collaborate with our current claims processing vendor towards a successful transition to our new platform.
