CAA: Maintain your online provider directory information
Maintaining your online provider directory information is essential for member and healthcare partners to connect with you when needed. Access your online provider directory information by visiting anthem.com/provider. Then at the top of the webpage, choose Find Care. Review your information and let us know if any of your information has changed.
Updating your information
Anthem uses the provider data management (PDM) capability available on Availity Essentials to update your care provider or facility data. Using the Availity PDM capability meets the quarterly attestation requirement to validate care provider demographic data set by the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA).
PDM features include:
- Updating care provider demographic information for all assigned payers in one location.
- Attesting to and managing current care provider demographic information.
- Monitoring submitted demographic updates in real-time with a digital dashboard.
- Reviewing the history of previously verified data.
Accessing the PDM application
Log on to Availity.com and select My Providers > Provider Data Management to begin using PDM. Administrators will automatically be granted access to PDM. Additional staff may be given access to PDM by an administrator. To find your administrator, go to My Account Dashboard > My Account > Organization(s) > Administrator Information.
