Verify Your Directory Information Every 90 Days
AI Summary
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas now requires all providers to verify their directory information (name, address, phone, specialty, digital contact info) every 90 days through Availity Essentials or demographic change forms, even if nothing has changed. This is a federal requirement to ensure members have accurate provider information.
Action Required
Every 90 days: Practice administrator or front desk staff must verify directory information using Provider Data Management in Availity Essentials or submit demographic change forms to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas. Update information immediately when changes occur (joining/leaving networks, address changes, etc.). Also update National Provider Identifier Registry and Texas Medicaid PEMS system when applicable. Ensure all office staff have current information that matches what was submitted to insurance.
