Reminder when enrolling as an Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield care provider

All care providers enrolled with the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) through the Provider Network Management (PNM) website with their Social Security Number (SSN) must ensure that they are contracted with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem) using their SSN instead of their tax identification number (TIN).

This is how your care provider data is shared with Anthem on the state’s Provider Master File and is the source of truth for all managed care organizations for Ohio Medicaid. Anthem contracts are required to accurately reflect the care provider data supplied by ODM.

Please submit your claims in the way you are contracted. Therefore, if you are contracted by your SSN, use your SSN as your billing TIN.

We look forward to a future of shared success.
