IFH/Refugee Registration (Blue Cross)
These claims are not eligible for submission through the Ministry of Health (MOH). To submit these billings, physicians must register for a provider account and submit claims through the Blue Cross online portal. Once registered, physicians must provide their direct deposit information to receive payment. Blue Cross payments are issued directly to the physician after the claim has been processed.
