Summary
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma now requires all providers to verify their directory information every 90 days through Availity Essentials or demographic change forms, even if no information has changed. This is a federal compliance requirement to ensure accurate provider directory data for members.
Action Required
Every 90 days: Practice administrators must verify directory information using Availity Essentials Provider Data Management feature or Demographic Change Form. Ensure office staff have current practice information including locations, phone numbers, specialty, and appointment availability. Update CAQH Provider Data Portal and NPI Registry when information changes. Use Demographic Change Form (not Availity) to remove providers from groups.
