The Fidelis Care Blog

LONG ISLAND CITY, NY [August 13, 2025] – As summer winds down and families prepare for the return to school, Fidelis Care, a statewide health plan with more than 2.4 million members in New York State and a Centene Corporation company, is reminding parents and caregivers to take steps to ensure children are physically, emotionally, and mentally ready for the new academic year.

In an effort to streamline provider demographic changes and provider termination requests, Fidelis Care has created two new electronic forms for providers to use.

Availity experts are hosting several live webinar sessions in the month of August to assist Fidelis Care providers with navigation of Availity Essentials. Space is limited, save your seat today!

As part of our ongoing Payment Integrity Program, a new initiative will begin September 1, 2025.

August is “Kids Eat Right Month.” It’s a time to encourage children to build healthy habits that can last a lifetime. With the school year approaching and routines shifting, it’s the perfect moment to pause and take a closer look at what our kids are eating—and how we can better support them. Healthy eating isn’t about strict rules or “perfect” meals. It’s about creating a balanced approach to food that fuels our children’s bodies and minds - one meal (and one snack!) at a time.
