In 2009, BCBSNC provider directories (including their website directory) will attach a special designation by the names of those providers that have earned the NCQA Back Pain Recognition Program Certification. This special designation as a NCQA BPRP provider should increase steerage to those providers who have received this high recognition.

FILING CIGNA CLAIMS
Please remember, as a CIGNA participating provider, you have agreed to treat CIGNA patients and provide usual and customary chiropractic care for the $45.00 global fee. The global fee covers ALL routine/standard chiropractic covered services rendered to the patient on each date of service.
CLICK HERE to read about what is covered by CIGNA HealthCare.
CIGNA SECONDARY AND CORRECTED CLAIMS
Effective October 1, 2008, CIGNA HealthCare began processing chiropractic claims under one Global Fee of $45.00. CIGNA adopted the CPT code 98940 to use as the universal Global Fee code.
When CNC electronically submits your claims to CIGNA, the universal billing CPT code, 98940, is added to each claim so that the claims will be properly adjudicated by CIGNA. However, when you send paper claims to CNC, such as secondary and/or corrected claims with attachments, in order for these claims to be properly adjudicated, they must ALSO include the universal CPT code 98940, together with your usual fee for that code, in addition to the actual services you provided on that visit.
CLICK HERE to view more details about submitting CIGNA claims.
CNC is VERY excited to announce a great new feature on ChiroTrack! CNC has worked for several months with BCBSNC on this project and this new feature will verify the following information with BCBSNC before we transmit your claims for adjudication.
Patient ID Number
Patient Date of Birth
Patient’s Name
Verifying this patient information with BCBS prior to submitting your claims will reduce denials and will help to insure that your claims are paid quickly! CLICK HERE to read more about this exiciting new feature!
Medcost contracts with Inclusive Health
Inclusive Health, also known as the North Carolina Health Insurance Risk Pool (NCHIRP), has contracted with MedCost to use their provider network. As the chiropractic network for MedCost, CNC providers will participate with Inclusive Health.

CNC wants to remind you again that the BCBSNC Corporate Medical Policy governs ALL lines of BCBS business and supersedes any information that you may obtain when verifying benefits WITH THE EXCEPTION OF BCBS out-of-state plans.
The BCBSNC corporate medical policy does NOT govern BCBS out-of-state plan benefits. For out-of state plan benefits, please contact the home plan directly to verify benefits and then follow the instructions provided to you by the home plan. (For example, if the home plan states that maintenance care is covered, then you can provide maintenance care to that member and bill for that service through CNC to BCBS.)
The BCBSNC Corporate Medical Policy must be followed when providing services for the following members:
- BCBSNC members (in-state plans)
- NC State Employee Plan members
- Federal Employee Plan members
- ASO (self funded) groups
- HSA/HRA members (high deductible plans)
The BCBSNC corporate medical policy is included in your CNC Practice Protection Plan as well as your CNC Provider Instruction Manual. Both of these documents are available on the CNC website: www.cncarolinas.com and if you are unsure about whether a service is covered under the corporate medical policy, please contact your CNC Provider Rep for assistance and she will be happy to assist you.
Our organization is a member of the American Chiropractic Association and supports this association as well as state chiropractic associations. These organizations benefit ALL chiropractors and CNC encourages all chiropractors to support our profession by joining both your state association as well as the ACA.
