CMS changes delay annual fee schedule updates
CMS recently announced it will be making additional fee changes for 2024. For this reason, we are rolling back our previously scheduled updates that were going to be effective April 1. We’ll let you know the new effective date and when the revised annual updates will be posted for preview.  

If you viewed or downloaded the updates that were previously posted, please disregard that information, as it is under revision. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Accessing fee schedule information
To access the current fee updates, effective January 1, 2024, log in to azblue.com/providers and go to “Provider Resources > Guidelines > Claim Pricing.” Select one of the “Fee Updates” links: ASC, Outpatient, Professional, Unclassified Drug, or Per Diem Base Rates. Or you can use the Fee Schedule tool.
Additional resources
You can also access our code edit guidelines and the C3 tool on the secure portal at azblue.com/providers: “Provider Resources > Guidelines > Claim Coding > Code Edit Guidelines and C3 Tool.” Revisions are posted as needed.
If you have questions regarding fee schedules or code edits, reach out to your Provider Relations Contact or call Provider Partnerships at 602-864-4231 or 1-800-232-2345, ext. 4231.
