What to Expect During the Independence Blue Cross Enrollment/Billing Platform Transition
Please review important information regarding the recent changes at Independence Blue Cross (IBC) and how they may affect you and your employees.
Autopay and Payment Information
If you’ve set up autopay for your IBC premium, your recurring payment information will automatically transfer to IBC’s new Group Portal billing system. However, during this transition, you might receive a system-generated message from the old system indicating that your payment was canceled. Please disregard this message; it is not a cause for concern. However, once the new Group Portal is live, it’s crucial to review your payment information to ensure everything is accurate. We also recommend confirming that your next payment goes through as expected after the transition date.
Temporary Challenges
As with any transition, there may be temporary challenges that arise. Some of the reported issues include:
Incorrect or multiple ID cards issued
Inactive prescription coverage despite active medical plans
Delays in invoice generation
Autopay/bank account information not transferred to the new portal
General billing discrepancies
Portal login troubles
While these challenges may cause some frustration, support is available to help navigate them. If you encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to your broker or IBC directly for assistance.
