Some information on our website is secure; always log in to ProviderAccess.

 

To participate in the Licensed Registered Dietitian Network, new providers must be enrolled and credentialed, and existing providers must be re-enrolled and re-credentialed with this specific network.

Dietitians who enroll in this network are able to bill Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama directly for certain services provided to patients ages 19 and older. These services will not need to be billed under a supervising physician.

Refer to the Professional Claims Submission Help Guide and the eClaims Quick Reference Guide for Primary Claims for information about filing claims electronically on ProviderAccess.

For more information, view our webcast or contact Provider Networks at 1-866-904-4130.
