Online provider tools

March 19, 2022

  • If you already have access to Availity — The Blue Cross and BCN provider portal within Availity became available to you, beginning March 19, 2022. You can now use Availity for all your Blue Cross and BCN business. Check out Help & Training within Availity, and use “BCBSM” in the search tool to find Blue Cross- and BCN-specific training.

April 18, 2022

  • If you don’t have access to Availity — You should register for Availity access April 18 or soon thereafter. Select an Availity administrator for your office. Have the administrator register and then add users and user roles. For details, go to Register and Get Started with Availity Essentials.** Once access is granted, begin training using the Help & Training link on the Availity homepage.

June 2022

  • Access to web-DENIS ends — The last day you can use the Blue Cross and BCN Provider Secured Services and web-DENIS tools will happen in the month of June. The exact date when access will be shut down will be announced in The Record and BCN Provider News. If you don’t already receive emails for our provider newsletters, subscribe today. And make sure you’re registered for Availity, have finished training, and know how to find the tools you need within Availity before Provider Secured Services and web-DENIS are retired.
