Update Your Info
Keep your provider directory information up to date—we make it easy!
CMS requires us to regularly contact our network providers to confirm the accuracy of our directory information.
Up-to-date directory information helps our members find new providers when they need care and ensures more timely and accurate claims processing.
Tools for Updating Provider Information
For a detailed guide, refer to our newly updated Provider Portal User Guide (PDF) | Latest as of October 2023.
Tips for practice administrators:
- Create a monthly tickler reminder to check the accuracy of your provider/practice information in Provider DataPoint.
- We no longer accept NPI-related updates/changes and credentialing applications via email or fax. They must be submitted online via Provider DataPoint.
- Radiologists, anesthesiologists, and midlevel providers (NP, PA) who do not practice as PCPs do not require credentialing.
- Please provide 30 days advance notice of changes to your provider/practice information when possible.
There are two online tools you can use to keep your NPI-related practice/provider information accurate:
Provider DataPoint
Please use our web-based provider data management tool to submit real-time changes:
- Change your practice information, including name, phone/fax, address, billing information, NPI, etc.
- Add/delete a location to your already-contracted practice/group
- Change provider information, including name, specialty, panel status, add a language, etc.
- Add a provider who requires credentialing to your practice. (You do not need to submit Radiologists, Anesthesiologists, Pathologists, Emergency Medicine providers, or midlevel providers (NP, PA) who do not practice as PCPs. These specialties do not require credentialing and will be loaded upon claims receipt.)
- Terminate a provider from your practice/group
- Check the status of a previously submitted data change request
Call 1-800-348-9804 to add a new facility (hospital, skilled nursing facility, ambulatory surgical center, etc.). A new participation agreement and/or credentialing application may be required.

National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES)
CMS now allows providers to use the NPPES to certify their NPI data. Information and FAQs about using NPPES as a reliable source for provider directory data are available at https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Health-Plans/ManagedCareMarketing/index.
Please direct questions about the NPPES to Jeremy Willard at [email protected].
