Under the current public health emergency, referrals are continuing to be waived for BlueCHiP for Medicare members through the end of 2021 per the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Referrals will not need to be entered in Health Trio. Referrals are still needed for all commercial plans that require them.

When this waiver status is updated by CMS, we will post a communication to the Alerts & Updates section of our secure provider portal as well as in Provider Update.
