What registration path do I choose?
Provider Registration: If you provide health care services for our members (hospital, physician, dental, specialty and pharmacy providers) begin by registering your organization.
Billing Organization/Third Party Registration: If you contract with health care providers to provide administrative or billing/claim services (revenue cycle management companies, medical billing services and third-party administrators) you begin by registering your organization. After you register you may request access to your clients data. The request process is very quick and easy and you can have your data access as soon as your provider contact approves your access. With your organization's account, you have the ability to add multiple providers/clients to your profile, allowing you to access all your clients data in one place!
Where do I find remittance advice (EOB)/payment details?
Go to the Applications menu on the Homepage. The menu defaults to Remittance Inquiry. Click "Go" and enter the check number.
If your Applications menu is blank, Remittance Inquiry and other applications will be available after you validate your account with the PIN that was mailed to your location.
What if I get "No results found" when I search for a check/EFT#? Select "Try another search or view/add your Tax ID & NPI access" to verify that the Tax ID/NPI associated with the check/EFT# is linked to your account.
How can I find my delegate for account assistance?
The delegate’s role is to create and maintain accounts for employees in your organization.
- Unsure you have an account? Click here to locate your delegate.
- If you are logged in, you can find your delegate under the help center on the left side of your home page.

How do I add Tax ID/NPI's to my account?

If you are a billing service/third party: Select "Tax ID & NPI access" from the Applications menu.
