Summary
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Medicare Advantage is promoting Alerts Hub, a care coordination tool within Availity Essentials that provides daily email notifications for patient admissions, discharges, transfers, and behavioral health events. This is an informational bulletin about an existing operational tool designed to improve HEDIS and Stars metrics performance for Special Needs Plans (SNPs), not a coverage or billing policy change.
Action Required
No immediate billing action required. Billing and clinical teams should review the Alerts Hub feature in Availity Essentials and consider adoption to improve care coordination workflows for Medicare Advantage SNP patients. Providers can access the Digital Learning Hub for the ADT (Admission, Discharge, and Transfer Notifications) lesson for training. This is an optional operational enhancement to support quality metrics performance.
