BCBSRI uses eviCore for high-end radiology and cardiology prior authorizations and spine surgery for Medicare Advantage members. Effective March 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. 

eviCore will hold eight educational webinars for all providers who will be affected by this transition. Participants will learn how to obtain authorizations using the Carecore National portal.
