Update your online directory information

Has your office moved? Have you added a new location? Are your network and hospital affiliations correctly identified on our website? Please take a few minutes to verify information we have for your office by June 1.

A snapshot of the provider file is taken each year on July 1. It is used to produce a printed copy of the BlueChoice (PPO) directory, which is mailed in October to federal employees enrolled in the Blue Cross Blue Shield Service Benefit Plan.

Updating your demographic information is easy with our online provider directory:

• Go to www.bcbsfl.com.

• Click on the Physicians & Providers section.

• Click on Provider Directory in the left navigation bar.

• Complete Step 1 as follows:

  • Select Doctor, Health Care Facility, Pharmacy or Support Service.

  • If you selected Doctor above, then select Primary/Family Care, Specialist or Dentist for your Doctor Type. Then enter your Last Name and First Name.

  • If you selected Health Care Facility above, then select Hospitals, Urgent Care Centers/Clinics, X-Ray/Imaging or Labs. Then enter your facility name.

• Click the Search! button.

• On the results page, click on your name.

• On the demographics page, click where indicated in the right navigation panel to change your information.

• On the Provider Information Update page enter your Tax ID. Then click the Continue button to update your demographic or contact information.

If you prefer, you can complete our Provider Information Update Form, which is available under Tools & Resources, Forms, in the Physicians & Providers section of our website at www.bcbsfl.com.

Don’t forget to include your office email address in the contact information section to receive the latest information from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida (BCBSF). Email notifications will include periodic updates of postings on our website, such as new links and bulletins. You will also receive timely notices of changes to BCBSF processes.

Your information will be updated in 20 business days from the time of receipt. We will confirm the change with your office before making any revision.
