Summary
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield requires all participating hospitals with more than 50 beds in Virginia to complete and submit a Patient Safety Standards Attestation Form by June 30, 2026, demonstrating compliance with federal QHP patient safety regulations. This is a compliance attestation requirement for hospital credentialing/contracting purposes, not a billing code or coverage change.
Action Required
By June 30, 2026: Hospital credentialing and provider relations teams (not billing teams) must ensure participating hospitals with more than 50 beds submit the Patient Safety Standards Attestation Form to their Anthem provider network manager/contractor. This is an administrative/credentialing compliance requirement. Medical billing teams should be aware of this deadline to flag any hospitals that fail to comply, as non-compliance may result in contract termination or payment holds. No direct billing workflow changes are required for this attestation.
