Medical and Hospital Claims
Providers: Effective March 6, we are now accepting electronic claims through Availity for our CareFirst Community Health Plan Maryland (CareFirst CHPMD) and CareFirst Advantage DSNP, Inc. (DSNP) products.
For continuity of electronic claims submission, CareFirst recommends providers that were directly contracted with Change Healthcare for medical claims submission transition to Availity. Please find resources to support registering with Availity here: Availity Essentials Portal Registration.
If you use another EDI vendor who uses Change Healthcare as an intermediary for medical claims submission, we recommend you work with your vendor to reroute medical claims through Availity. Any medical claims submitted to CareFirst using or passing through Change Healthcare since February 21 for the products mentioned above should be resubmitted to CareFirst once connection to Availity has been established.
Any paper claims should be submitted to:
