Provider Data Maintenance

​As part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), participating providers* are required to notify us whenever there are changes to their provider data. In addition, health plans are required to verify and update their provider directory information every 90 days. To help us meet this requirement, we ask that you review and attest your provider data every 90 days.

Our members, your patients, rely on the accuracy of our provider directories (Find a Doctor tool) to make informed choices about care.

Reviewing and attesting your data

Primary method

The Provider Data Maintenance transaction in PEAR Practice Management allows participating providers to easily view and to attest to the accuracy of key practice data elements that appear in our directory.

A step-by-step user guide is available in the PEAR Help Center under Practice Management – Provider Administration.

Need access to the Provider Engagement, Analytics & Reporting (PEAR) portal? Learn more.

Secondary method

If you do not have access to PEAR, review your provider profile on the AmeriHealth New Jersey or AmeriHealth Pennsylvania Find a Doctor tools. Enter your facility/provider name in the search field and review the accuracy of the information presented.
