Effective Jan. 1, 2021 use the AIM ProviderPortal to request preauthorization and respond to post-service review requests by AIM. Do not submit medical records to Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma (BCBSOK) for prior authorization or post-service reviews for the care categories managed by AIM. Medical records may or may not be needed for pre or post service reviews using the AIM portal due to the smart clinical algorithms within the portal.
