Provider contract and fee schedule notifications coming soon
We are excited to announce the release of Provider Contract and Fee Schedule Notifications! Starting in Mid-July, when Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem) notifies you of a statewide fee schedule update or provider contract amendment, you can log into Availity.com and download a digital copy of your content.
Over the last few months, we have been tirelessly working to improve our service and believe that online Provider Contract and Fee Schedule Notifications will help you appreciate your experience with Anthem even more.
In order to be ready for the digital downloads, you should log in to Availity, access the Provider Online Reporting application and register your authorized users. Going forward, you will see newsletter articles notifying you when you can download content, or if your state requires a mail notification, you may receive a letter or postcard notifying you of content ready for download.
See details below on how to log in and access your reports:
