[Virginia] Reminder: provider data attestation

REQUIREMENTS: - Ongoing (every 90 days): All providers and administrative staff with Availity Essentials access must attest to demographic data using PDM at https://Availity.com > My Providers > Provider Data Management. - Action steps: (1) Log into Availity Essentials; (2) Navigate to My Providers > Provider Data Management; (3) Select action menu next to business name; (4) Select Verify Directory Listing; (5) Review all demographic data for accuracy; (6) Select Submit Verified Profile to complete attestation. - Alternative method: Organizations may use the Roster Upload feature to submit multiple provider updates via spreadsheet (satisfies 90-day requirement equally). - Responsibility: Providers, office administrators, and designated staff with PDM access must monitor attestation due dates via automated Availity email notifications and Notification Center alerts. - Consequence of non-compliance: Providers classified as non-compliant will be removed from the online provider directory, preventing members from locating them via Find Care, negatively impacting patient access and claims processing efficiency. This affects reimbursement timeliness. - For Behavioral Health providers assigned to Carelon Behavioral Health: Follow Carelon's attestation process instead; CAQH members attest through CAQH website. - For non-registered providers: Register at https://Availity.com and select 'New to Availity? Get Started' (no cost). Contact Availity Client Services at 800-AVAILITY (282-4548) for registration support. - For training: Access on-demand classes and recorded webinars via Availity Essentials Learning Hub or Quick Start Guide in PDM application.
