For CarePlus to maintain accurate provider directories, please notify CarePlus of changes to your information as soon as possible. Provider directories are an important tool used by beneficiaries and/or their representatives/caregivers to select and contact their physicians and other healthcare providers. Beneficiaries and/or their representatives/caregivers rely on the provider directory to make informed decisions regarding their healthcare choices.

If you have changes to your practice/facility information, please provide CarePlus with the updated information immediately using one of the following options:

• Contact your assigned provider services executive.
• Fax the information to 1-866-449-5668.
• Call the CarePlus provider services queue at 1-866-220-5448, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern time.

When submitting updates, please provide your contact information in case there are questions about the correspondence.

Note: If your practice is managed by a health system, independent physician association (IPA) or other practice association, please report changes to the administrative office of that organization, which will then update your information with CarePlus.
