Upcoming Live Webinars for New Prior Authorization System

In late October 2021, providers will be able to submit medical prior authorizations/notifications for Commercial and FEP members using our newly enhanced prior authorization entry system. This system is fully integrated within the CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield and CareFirst BlueChoice, Inc. (CareFirst) Provider portal and does not require you to have additional logins or passwords. In addition, the system offers easy-to-read dashboards, streamlined auto-approval capabilities, a user-friendly interface and electronic communication with CareFirst clinical staff.

To support providers with this upgrade, we are hosting several live webinar opportunities beginning in early October. Use one of the links below to register for a brief overview of the new system and its functionality.
