Summary

Florida Blue is implementing mandatory quarterly provider directory attestation requirements under federal legislation (HR 133). All providers, healthcare facilities, and suppliers must verify and update their profile information every calendar quarter (4 times per year) via Availity Essentials, or face removal from Florida Blue's online provider directories. Providers have 48 hours to reappear in directories after completing attestation.

Action Required

Action needed
REQUIREMENTS: Immediately establish a quarterly attestation schedule for all providers and staff with administrator access in Availity Essentials (essentials.availity.com). By the end of each calendar quarter: (1) Designate staff member(s) to log into Availity Essentials and access the Florida Blue Payer Space; (2) Complete the Directory Review process by reviewing all red-highlighted sections, confirming accuracy of provider information, and submitting attestation with required confirmations; (3) Update Communications topic with current phone number, fax, email, and administrator contact information; (4) Ensure practitioner medical license information is current; (5) Document completion date internally. Consequences of non-compliance: Providers will be automatically removed from Florida Blue online directories the following quarter, preventing patient discovery of in-network status and potentially impacting patient flow and revenue. This applies to all providers regardless of role (physicians, facilities, suppliers, ancillary providers). For technical support, contact Availity at 1-800-282-4548.
