No Surprises Act (NSA) Directory Validation

Midyear 2023 is approaching, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota (BCBSND) is reminding our provider community that providers are required to validate your provider directory information once a year. As a requirement of the NSA, we are following the federal mandate.

There is still time to validate to make sure your 2023 information is up to date. Validating your information ensures our directory reflects accurate information. Our members and your patients rely on the provider directory to assist in finding health care services available within their network.

As new patients and providers join our network, the directory informs providers and our members that you are available. When your information is not correct, this may cause members and provider referrals to go elsewhere.

Follow these instructions to complete the directory validation process.
