Help members find the right provider (it could be YOU)
Maternal mental health options available when you update your practice information
In support of increasing awareness of maternal mental health, Magellan gives you several options when sharing your specialties via the Provider Data Change Form. We encourage you to share information about yourself, your approach, education and specialties; it helps the members we serve know if you might be a good fit for their therapy or treatment needs.
Magellan is expanding our network of providers who support maternal mental health.
If you specialize in the following areas, let us know!
- Comorbid pre-natal issues
- Comorbid postpartum issues
- Postpartum anxiety
- Postpartum depression
- Postpartum psychosis
- Reproductive psychiatry
Let members know what you have to offer
Showcase your specialties. This helps members identify—at a glance—their best options for treatment/therapy. Plus, if one of your specialties appears to be compatible with their concern,you increase your chances for getting the referral.
Selecting your specialties from the Magellan master list helps members find the right provider.
Are your specialties showing?
How you can make sure your practice data, including specialties, are current:
- Go to www.MagellanProvider.com and sign in securely with your username and password.
- From the left-hand menu, click Display/Edit Practice Information. The first tab that displays is the Provider Data Change Form.
- Select the Specialties, Languages & Age Range section to add/edit your current behavioral specialties. (You’ll be able to select your own specialties from a master list of over 100.)
- Review and attest to the accuracy of your practice information on a quarterly basis and anytime you make an update to your information. To fully complete this step, review each category (updated categories will reflect a green check mark), then click the red “I Attest” button.
Why it matters
When provider information is incomplete or out-of-date, this can lead to greater frustration and inconvenience for members seeking timely care. Depending on the region where you practice, a Magellan member could generate a lengthy list of potential “matches” when they conduct a search or ask us for help finding providers in their area. Yet, not all providers may be a good fit for a member’s needs. Sifting through 100 or more provider listings can take time, and when a member might already be feeling overwhelmed, this can seem especially daunting.Including your specialties allows members to filter for more pertinent results and get the care they need more quickly.
