Patient Health Record
Recent enhancements and original features on Patient Health Record (previously called Patient Health History) can help your office become more efficient by delivering critical health information so you can better prepare for your patients. For members with Anthem dental benefits and an affiliated medical plan, you can:
- view medications, recent diagnoses, ER visits, or lab results that may affect your patients' dental health
- confirm medical conditions that may display specific symptoms in the mouth
- receive care alerts that notify you of any care gaps, or update your patients' medical condition
- share patient vitals (like blood pressure, height, or weight), which can identify at-risk patients and reduce severity of systemic disease
Communications
We are excited to announce an important transition in our communication platform. Effective August 1, 2024, we are moving from this location to a new, dynamic site called Provider News, accessible at Provider News. This new platform is designed with usability in mind, providing enhanced features such as the ability to search articles by key terms and organization of articles by category. You can also print articles or save them as PDFs, to share crucial information with your colleagues. This enhancement enables Anthem to deliver essential updates to you in a more timely manner. We're thrilled to share this upgrade with you and look forward to the continued enhancement of our communications.
Check the Communications section regularly for ongoing communications to our participating dental providers. Our semi-annual newsletter, Dental Dispatch, has all the news and information you need to know, including details on new products and tools, policy updates, industry news, helpful tips, and more.
