Reading Your Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas Bills

When you receive your Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas bill, you will see it is divided into 2 sections: Bill Summary and Subscriber Fees.

1) Bill Summary

Bill Summary contains your previous payment activity, adjustments and current charges.

• Payments: Payment activity you've made in the previous month
• Adjustments: Credits and charges for retroactive enrollment or termination of employees
• Remaining Balance: Balance leftover from your previous month's billing (Payments + Adjustments)
• Current Charges: Your group's premiums for the month
• Subscriber Fee Adjustments: Credits and charges accounting for changes in employees' billing
• Total Amount Due: Amount you will pay for the billing cycle (Remaining Balance + Total Fees)

The total amount due is your outstanding balance for the billing cycle and needs to be paid in order to keep your account active. 

2) Subscriber Fees

The Subscriber Fees section contains the breakdown of each employee's premiums.

• Retro Fee Adjust: Credits and charges for retroactive enrollments or terminations
• Current Charges: Current month's premium
• Total Charges: Retro Fee Adjust + Current Charges
• Total Fees: Total charges for your group

"Total Fees" pertain to your current month's premiums. This corresponds to the "Total Fees" section under "Bill Summary." When you add the "Remaining Balance" from your previous month's billing, this corresponds to your "Total Amount Due."
