Update Your Directory Listing

  • CarePlus members use our provider directories to select and contact physicians and other healthcare providers. That’s’ why it’s important that we update your listing as soon as there are changes.

    Please notify us of any of the following changes: 

    • Started or stopped accepting new patients 
    • New street address 
    • New phone or fax number 
    • New website 
    • Change in specialty 
    • Name change 
    • Changes that affect appointment availability 

    To update your information, contact your provider services executive by fax at 1-866-449-5668 or call the CarePlus Provider Operations inquiry line at 1-866-220-5448, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Eastern time. Please provide your contact information so we can easily reach you with any questions. 

    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.
