Summary
BCBSRI will begin publishing provider race and ethnicity information in their Find a Doctor directory on bcbsri.com as part of their pursuit of NCQA Health Equity Accreditation. This information comes from voluntary disclosure in providers' CAQH database profiles and will be displayed alongside existing provider language information.
Action Required
No immediate billing team action required. This is an informational update about BCBSRI publishing provider demographic information in their online directory. Providers may want to review and update their voluntary race/ethnicity disclosure in their CAQH profiles if desired, but this does not affect billing processes or claim submission.
