Update to the PA Checkpoint Prior Authorization Tool

Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota (BCBSND) wants to inform providers of a change taking place on Jan. 23, 2026.

Providers will be required to check a box confirming they have read and understand the PA Checkpoint disclaimer. This will only apply to the PA Checkpoint tool on the www.bcbsnd.com website. Implementation within Availity may come at a later date.

The PA Checkpoint/Predictal Resource Guide will be updated within the next 30 days to reflect this change.
