Verify Your Directory Information Every 90 Days
AI Summary
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas now requires all providers to verify their directory information every 90 days through Availity Essentials or a Demographic Change Form, even if nothing has changed. This is a federal requirement to ensure accurate provider directory information for members and other providers.
Action Required
Every 90 days: Administrative staff must verify practice directory information (name, address, phone, specialty, digital contact) using Provider Data Management feature in Availity Essentials or submit Demographic Change Form. Update information immediately when changes occur through BCBSTX, CAQH Provider Data Portal, and National Provider Identifier Registry. Ensure office staff have access to current information that matches what was provided to BCBSTX.
