Effective February 1, 2024, eviCore will be transitioning their authorization portal. Access will remain by using your bcbsri.com log on for authorizations. You will seamlessly be brought to the Carecore National portal to request your case. Authorization requests for Prospect members will continue to go through Prospect.
