HNS Policy   

HNS providers shall provide timely notification to HNS, in writing, of any changes to their practice information.

Do not contact or notify HNS payors regarding any changes to your  practice information.  After HNS receives information from you regarding a change to your practice information, HNS will notify the contracted payors of the change(s).  If you contact the payor directly regarding a practice change, it may result in the inadvertent termination of your participation in the HNS Network.
