Claim Status Tool

The Availity^® Claim Status Tool offers enhanced, real-time claim status functionality to help you manage and resolve claims processed by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) for all of our members. This includes government programs (Medicare Advantage and Texas Medicaid), commercial, marketplace health plan and Federal Employee Program^® (FEP^®) members.

The Claim Status tool is found in the Claims & Payment menu via the Availity Provider Portal. It allows you to search for claims by a Member ID or specific Claim Number. Claim status results provide more detailed information than the HIPAA-standard claim status 276/277 transaction, including the following details:

• Patient and provider data submitted on claims
• In-network and out-of-network patient liability breakdown
• Billing and rendering provider name and National Provider Identifier (NPI)
• Check number, check date and payee name
• Other carrier payment amount
• Ineligible reason codes and associated descriptions
• Transaction ID reference numbers

This tool is accessible to registered Availity users. If you aren’t registered, go to Availity and select "Register" to complete the online guided process, at no charge.
