Reminder: Update and Attest to Your Provider Directory Data Every 90 Days
The CareFirst Provider Directory is the single most-used resource available to our CareFirst members. It is where they go to find a doctor to meet their healthcare needs. It is important to you and your patients (future and current) that your information in our directory is accurate. If not, patients get very frustrated trying to find a doctor in their time of need.
CareFirst has a self-service tool within the Provider Portal (CareFirst Direct) that allows you to quickly update and/or attest to your provider and practitioner information.
How often should I update and attest?
Per Federal law, professional providers in our Commercial and Medicare Advantage networks are required to attest/update their data every 90 days. The CareFirst Provider Directory Updates and Attestations self-service tool is the fastest and easiest way to satisfy this requirement and ensure your data is up to date at all times. This includes your practice URL and email addresses as well.
How do I Access the Self-Service Tool?
Step by step instructions are available to you 24/7 by accessing our Provider Directory Updates and Attestations course. We have also pulled together an FAQ document to help answer any questions you may have.
For more information visit the Update Practice Info page on the provider website.
