Blue Cross has delayed its transition to LabCorp as the exclusive national laboratory and only Preferred Medical Laboratory Plus (PLMP) provider in the Preferred Medical Laboratory (PML) network until March 1, 2025. By delaying this transition, providers will have more time to transition their electronic interface to a participating laboratory. These transitions can take up to 60 days, so it is imperative that providers begin to transition now. Blue Cross has stated that the new date is firm and will not be re-evaluated for the extension.
Blue Cross has also stated that there will be no changes to the current PML and PMLP lab networks until the new date of March 1, 2025. For more details, you can visit their PML network page on the Blue Cross website.
