Update your status: Are you taking new patients?

Keep your provider directory data up to date

One of the most common provider directory issues we hear from our members is the accuracy of whether or not a provider is accepting new patients at a particular location. When the information isn’t correct, members may think they can schedule an appointment with a provider, only to find out that they’re not accepting new patients at that location, or a member may assume a provider is not accepting patients and miss out on scheduling when the provider is actually available.

We understand that the ability to accept new patients or not can change frequently based on capacity. That’s why we encourage you to use our directory as a tool to either fill your schedule or reduce the calls of patients trying to schedule.
