Provider Alerts

Optum will email Provider Alerts to announce important information, such as changes within the PBHS, Maryland Department of Health (MDH) announcements, and important regulatory guidance. Providers should register for Provider Alerts by sending an email to: marylandproviderrelations@optum.com.
