Summary
Anthem Blue Cross has enhanced its Alerts Hub for ADT (admission, discharge, transfer) notifications effective July 1, 2026, introducing bulk user registration, flexible enrollment by TIN or NPI, and expanded specialty access including cardiology and endocrinology. Billing teams should ensure providers register through Availity's Preference Center to receive daily alerts and improve quality performance metrics including HEDIS measures.
Action Required
By July 1, 2026: Coordinate with clinical leadership and providers to register with Availity and enroll in Alerts Hub through the Preference Center. Determine which users by role (TIN or NPI) should receive ADT alerts. Notify providers in expanded specialties (cardiology, endocrinology, internal medicine subspecialties) of new access. Ensure billing team and care coordinators understand that daily email summaries will be available and that logging into Alerts Hub to review ADT data supports quality metric improvements. No changes required to billing software or claim submission processes. This is primarily an operational/care coordination enhancement rather than a billing workflow change.
