Our Provider Network Consultants host Provider Hot Topics webinars at the beginning of each month. The PNCs use this online forum to share upcoming initiatives, program updates and general network announcements. They also review recent communications – like Blue Review articles and News and Updates notices – to call out important details and address provider questions.
