Database Change for Dental Products and Some
Self-Funded Medical Plans

Effective July 1, 2011, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts will transition from an Ingenix database to FAIR Health's database* for the designation of certain fee schedules and out-of-network usual and customary fees for our dental products and some self-funded medical plans. This transition should not cause any disruption to claims processing.
