Required lead time when updating your provider information

February 18, 2020

AmeriHealth would like to remind you that submitting changes in a timely manner helps to ensure prompt payment of claims, delivery of critical communications, seamless recredentialing, and accurate listings in our provider directories.* In accordance with your Provider Agreement, the Provider Manual for Participating Professional Providers, and/or Hospital Manual for Participating Hospitals, Ancillary Facilities, and Ancillary Providers, as applicable, you are required to notify AmeriHealth whenever key provider demographic information changes.

Please review our dedicated webpage to review the specific lead-time requirements, exceptions, and/or additional information for:

  • Professional providers
  • Facility and ancillary providers
  • Authorizing signature and W-9 Forms

AmeriHealth will not be responsible for changes not processed due to lack of proper notice. Failure to provide proper advance written notice to AmeriHealth may delay or otherwise affect provider payment. 

If you have questions related to updating your provider information after reviewing the webpage, please email our provider communications team at providercommunications@amerihealth.com.
