Medical Oncology Program ProviderPortal case entry enhancements

Beginning January 1, 2024, Empire became Anthem. This article, published under the former brand, now applies to Anthem.

On March 26, 2023, Carelon Medical Benefits Management Inc. (formerly AIM Specialty Health)* released operational enhancements to the ProviderPortalSM for the Medical Oncology Program for Empire BlueCross BlueShield. These enhancements are geared towards creating an easier intake process for users. You may notice the clinical intake screens look and function differently.

A few updates will include:

  • Improved look and feel of the case entry screens.
  • Removal of unnecessary biomarker questions for specific clinical scenarios.
  • Revised drug dosing screens for easier input of cycle ranges and days of administration.

Resources, training, and support 

To familiarize yourself with the enhanced medical oncology authorization request process, Carelon will be hosting a series of provider training sessions. Please register to receive a unique meeting invite.
