Get important news delivered to you

We offer some of our news to users who aren’t logged into our site. However, we encourage you to register to get:

  • Regularly scheduled emails delivered to your inbox – called a News Recap—that gives you links to news articles we’ve published (sent monthly to medical providers; quarterly for dentists)
  • Contractual news, or News Alerts. These only get posted for registered users because they are specific to your specialty. This is news about claims payment and reimbursement policies, fee schedule updates, and prior authorization programs—to name a few.

Log in and click the News tab to read your News Alerts. They are marked with a red exclamation point.

We will send you an email each time a News Alert is posted, so please keep your email address up to date in our system. To do this, you can click My Profile.
