Important Notice Regarding Possible Unauthorized Solicitation of Your Provider Information

June 15, 2015 - We were recently informed that some of our network providers have received phone calls from a company calling itself Opencare, which claims that it is assisting with updating CareFirst provider information.

CareFirst BlueCross Blue Shield (CareFirst) is not affiliated with Opencare and has not authorized it to seek information from your practice. Opencare is not acting for CareFirst, and your decision not to provide information to Opencare will have no effect on your status with CareFirst.

Your provider data that is maintained by CareFirst should only be updated by using CareFirst’s online tool, CareFirst Direct, or by working directly with a CareFirst Associate. If you are already utilizing CareFirst Direct, remember that you can and should validate your information online – see our step-by-step guide. If you are not yet registered for CareFirst Direct, you can register online.

If you have questions or if you have been contacted by Opencare, please contact your Provider Relations Representative immediately.
