As part of our efforts to simplify how we do business with you, we are undertaking an initiative to update our provider materials. Our goal is to make it easier for you to identify whether a policy, procedure, or program applies to the members you are contracted to care for. We value the care you provide and coordinate for our members. The first significant change was to the Summary of Lines of Business, Networks, and Plans showing the current suite of networks and benefit plans members may have.
We removed details that are already on the member’s ID card, benefit summary, or Member Details page in the provider portal. We also created two sections of the page: one for 2025 and one for 2026. That way you can more conveniently find the information that applies to commercial plans that started in 2025, but will not renew until 2026.
To read the Summary, look at the columns from left to right. The key piece of information you will need is the network. If you are contracted for a network shown, you will be responsible for treating members with the lines of business and plans listed in the same row. The last column shows whether the member has out-of-network coverage and whether a referral is required.
National Women’s Health Week begins on Mother’s Day each year. Observe Women’s Health Week by encouraging your female patients to make their health a priority.
Women represent the cornerstone of a family's overall health. Ensuring they have access to regular, quality care can also lead to improved health for children and families, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
For tips on what you can do to support your female patients please visit our Quality Improvement website.
The CDC also offers tips on what you can do to support your female patients.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. When providing care to our members, be sure to look out for signs of mental illness and refer them to our behavioral health services, as needed.
Caring for your patients with mental health issues is important to their overall health. We are here to help you understand and address their health care needs.
We want to highlight the importance of behavioral health and medical care providers coordinating care for patients with mental health and substance use disorders.
Medical care professionals can address and coordinate behavioral health care by:
- Screening for mental health conditions.
- Talking about the medications patients take so patients can avoid potential harmful medication reactions.
- Encouraging and coordinating seven-day follow-up care after mental health related emergency department/inpatient (ED/IP) admissions.
- Helping link members to a behavioral health specialist, if needed.
