Important Updates Regarding Coronavirus COVID-19

Posted by Provider Relations

As an important resource for providers, we encourage you to access the information on Fidelis Care’s Provider Portal at providers.fideliscare.org. 

On the portal, you can:

  • check claim status
  • confirm member eligibility and benefits
  • submit authorization requests
  • check on the status of an authorization
  • view provider remittance advice

We also encourage you to use Fidelis Care’s Interactive Voice Response as another way to check claim status and member eligibility.

Using these tools and resources will provide you with the information you need, 24/7, and help to reduce anticipated call volume and wait times for our Provider Call Center.
