The online reporting tool will be available on our website starting June 1, 2022. We’ll send email when you can start using it. You’ll need to enter the NPI of the facility that you are reporting for in order to access the tool.

We will only accept submissions we receive through our reporting tool on Provider Central. Emailed or mailed submissions will not be accepted.

 

Reminders for reporting

  • If you are part of a larger organization with system-wide protocols, policies, and procedures, your reporting responses should be specific to your facility.
  • When answering each question, please include a description on how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted your processes, if applicable.
  • For transitions of care responses, census tracking is for all of your patients, not just Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts members.
  • Please answer each question as completely as possible for full credit. We’ve provided notes or prompts to help guide you. See example below.
