The benefits of self-service
This application benefits practice group administrators in several ways:
- Easy — The self-service application is more streamlined and electronic, making it easier to keep your group records up to date.
- Fast — Your enrollment and change requests are processed quickly, with some transactions completed within minutes.
- Secure — Your data remains secure since the practice group determines its users and their access levels, and the application provides an audit trail for every transaction.
- Accurate — You control the data entered for enrollment and change requests. You’ll be able to check your group information and the status of your enrollment and change requests online anytime with a few mouse clicks.
- Green — The need to print and fax forms is greatly reduced, which saves money and is more environmentally friendly.

Group administrators with responsibility for maintaining data of professional groups of health care practitioners and allied providers are eligible to register for access to the Provider Enrollment and Change Self-Service application. These registered group administrators and their designated staffs will be able to maintain information only for their group providers enrolled with the Blues who use Type 2 (group) national provider identifiers.
Register now so you can experience the benefits of online enrollment and change processing. The self-service application is available within 10 days of submitting your registration request.
Registration steps:
- All users must have access to BCBSM Provider Secured Services. If you do not have this access, you must first register for Provider Secured Services.
- Your group then completes Addendum G to select a practice administrator and designate users and the level of access for each user.
Independent physicians or practitioners who are solo practitioners (not part of a group) and facility providers must continue to follow current enrollment and change processes.
