  • Ascension Password Change: On May 8, 2024, a cyber security event disrupted clinical operations of the Ascension Healthcare Network. To ensure the security of protected health information on the ForwardHealth Portal, ForwardHealth will prompt all providers owned by Ascension to change their password. Providers not owned by Ascension will not be prompted to change their password.

    For instructions on changing your Portal password, refer to the ForwardHealth Provider Portal Account User Guide.

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is now required for the secure ForwardHealth Portal. Providers are encouraged to refer to the ForwardHealth Multi-Factor Authorization Instruction Sheet for help setting up MFA preferences.
    Providers may contact their Portal account administrator or call the ForwardHealth Portal Help Desk at 866-908-1363. Note: This is a project-specific announcement and is not related to the Change Healthcare disruption.
