Maintaining accurate provider information is critically important to ensure that our members have timely and accurate access to care.Additionally, Empire BlueCross HealthPlus is required by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to include accurate information in provider directories for certain key provider data elements. To remain compliant with federal and state requirements, changes must be communicated within 30 days in advance of a change or as soon as possible.

 

Key data elements include physician name, address, and phone number, accepting new patient status, hospital affiliations and medical group affiliations.
