Reminder: Verify your practice information!

We are committed to ensuring the accuracy of the information in our Find a Doctor tool, the online directory that your patients rely on to make healthcare choices. Keeping this information up-to-date is a CMS requirement.

It is particularly important to note these two CMS requirements:

  • Whether the practice location included is where a patient can make an appointment to see the provider
  • Whether the provider is accepting new patients

Please note that you must give BCBSRI a 60-day notification of any provider demographic changes by completing our BCBSRI Practitioner Change Form. This is a contractual obligation under your BCBSRI provider agreement.

These efforts are in addition to the quarterly outreach we conduct for you to validate and attest to your information in our directory. Currently this outreach is completed via fax. If you do not have access to a fax machine, please contact us at the e-mail noted below to provide your e-mail address for this correspondence.

If you have any questions related to your provider demographic data, please email ProviderDirectory@bcbsri.org or call your provider relations representative. Thank you for your assistance.
