Provider maintenance and demographic updates
Providers contracted with Wellpoint should use Availity’s Provider Demographic Management (PDM) application hosted on Availity.com to request changes to existing practice information.
Request data updates via either one of the following options within Availity Essentials’ PDM:
Multi-payer platform option: allows providers to make updates once and have that information sent to all participating health plans, submitting each change separately
Upload Roster option: allows providers to submit multiple updates within one spreadsheet via the Upload Rosters feature
Roster Automation is a new system upgrade that will read a standardized form, identify necessary changes, and update the demographic system.
