Scheduled Maintenance to Impact BlueNet™ Pharmacy Transmissions in BC

Wednesday, Oct 9, 2024

On October 17, 2024, from 10:00 PM to 11:59 PM, pharmacies in British Columbia transmitting prescription claims to Pacific Blue Cross (PBC) will face a temporary service disruption due to a scheduled maintenance.

The maintenance will prevent pharmacies in BC from submitting claims, resulting in timeout errors during the affected period. Pharmacies outside of British Columbia will not be impacted by this outage, and no action is required by pharmacy staff at this time.

  • Clients Impacted: Pharmacies in BC transmitting claims to PBC
  • Outage Duration: October 17, 2024, from 10:00 PM to 11:59 PM

No further action is required for those affected, and normal service will resume promptly at the conclusion of the maintenance period.
