Workers’ Compensation acknowledgments required
As a reminder, the Workers’ Compensation Physicians Acknowledgments is required by
California Code of Regulations §9767.5.1, “Medical Provider Networks” (MPN). The “MPN
applicant shall obtain from each physician participating in the MPN a written acknowledgment
in which the physician affirmatively elects to be a member of the MPN.”
To maintain and affirm your participation in all MPNs that you have been selected for and
have subscribed to Anthem’s Provider Affirmation Portal, go to Availity and login. Once in,
click on the Payer Spaces drop down menu in the top right hand corner, and select Anthem
Blue Cross from the options available to you. On the next page click on “Resources” in the
middle of the page and look for “MPN Provider Affirmation Portal.”

If you cannot go online, call Anthem Workers’ Compensation at 1-866-700-2168 and we can
take action on your behalf in the Provider Affirmation Portal. Please also keep an eye out for
email notifications from “Anthem MPN Admin.”
Please also be advised the Provider Affirmation Portal will also notify participating medical
providers when an MPN is terminating its relationship with Anthem and/or the Division of
Workers Compensation.
