Summary
Healthcare providers must validate their demographic data in provider directories every 90 days as required by the Consolidated Appropriations Act. Providers who exceed 90 days without validation will be suppressed from insurance directories, preventing patients from finding them.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team and practice administrators must log into My Insurance Manager (MIM) and complete provider validation every 90 days. Navigate to 'Provider Validation' box, select 'Validate Now', review all locations showing 'Verification Required' or 'Suppressed from Directories' status, and select 'Verify' after reviewing information. Failure to validate within 90 days will result in suppression from provider directories, preventing patient referrals and new patient acquisition.
