I wrote about this last year. The government mandate that states all physicians' demographic information must be updated every 90 days,
even if no changes have occurred.
Now they send smooth and yet slightly threatening emails. Every time the 90 days have elapsed, when I log into the portal a big red box on the top of screen appears. Not enough. Email reminders now clog my inbox like hair on the shower drain. Harass harass harass.
Here's the screenshot:

| Updating your profile early helps you avoid distractions |

Hello,
To ensure accuracy for patients, state and federal laws require health plans to check the information in their provider directories every 90 days. That means lots of phone calls, emails, faxes, and letters asking you to update and verify the information your payers have on file…every quarter.
There’s an easy way to cut down on the noise.
Use Availity to verify your profile, and we’ll send that information to all participating payers. You can even download your verified profile, then print or email it to your other payers when they call.
It only takes about 15 minutes to get through the process, because we pre-populate the forms with the information payers already have about your business and physicians. So when something changes, it takes just a few clicks to make sure your payers are updated.
Remember that it’s important to verify and update your profile each quarter, even if nothing has changed.
So log in to the Availity Provider Portal now to verify and update your profile—we’ll update your payers, and you’ll have your day back.
Just another example of the thousand paper cuts that results in the doctor becoming paralyzed. |
