BlueCare Tennessee and CoverKids Maternity Care Program
We’re dedicated to partnering with you for the health of your patients. Through our Maternity Care Program, BlueCare Tennessee and CoverKids obstetric providers can earn payments on top of their regular reimbursements for maternity care.
As part of the program, you can also help your patients covered by BlueCare Tennessee receive up to $100 towards the purchase of baby supplies by simply signing a form. (The program does NOT include gift cards for CoverKids members.)
Getting paid is easy. The following chart outlines the process for you and your patients.

*In situations where the provider billing 0500F didn’t perform a separate visit to confirm the pregnancy and the prenatal profile was started on the first visit, the provider may bill the appropriate E&M codes at $0.00 charges. This step will show there was not a separate visit for confirmation only prior to beginning the prenatal profile and that the provider is simply following the rules for billing the code.
Certain billing scenarios listed above may be considered non-standard billing. However, Blue Care Tennessee will allow these billing scenarios in order to compensate providers for the timely submission of the required information.
All other billing and processing guidelines apply, including but not limited to, prior authorization requirements, coordination of benefits and timely filing. Additionally, all claims submitted to BlueCare Tennessee are subject to retrospective claims review and possible recovery.
BlueCare Tennessee now reimburses separately for procedure code 58300 (insertion of intrauterine device) when performed at the time of the delivery. This means the reimbursement for 58300 is no longer bundled with the payment for delivery.
