Provider Information Management Forms

Provider Information Management forms are used to maintain provider accounts as well as begin the process to join Highmark's networks for new practitioners and offices. Practice information updates can be made with many of the forms below. Please carefully read and follow the instructions contained within the individual form for submission.

Highmark no longer requires a copy of the Medicare Welcome Letter for proof of Medicare eligibility for professional credentialing.
