Supplier Qualifications

CareFirst sets the highest standards for our membership’s products and services. We expect the same standard of excellence from our vendor partners.

Our suppliers must:

• Comply with all federal and state laws, including data privacy laws
• Conduct business ethically
• Provide proof of insurance
• Have a security policy that uses established best practices
• Provide proof of financial stability
• Perform background checks on employees that deliver onsite services and have access to our data

Supplier Registration Requirements

To be considered, all potential suppliers must register and provide company information, including the following:

• Name of legal entity (include DBA if applicable)
• Corporate headquarters address
• Sales contact name, phone number and email address
• Tax ID number
• Minority, Women, Veteran, LGBT-owned and Small Business Certification(s) (if applicable)

Important Information

How can I contact CareFirst about my supplier status?

• CareFirst does not provide individual contact information for our buyers.
• Prospective suppliers will be contacted for additional information about their company, products, or services. If CareFirst is not currently seeking your offered services, your profile will remain active in our supplier database for one year.
• Registration does not imply a contract or intent to purchase by CareFirst.

As a potential CareFirst supplier, we will evaluate your registration to see if there is a benefit to our partnership. Please do not contact any CareFirst executive or associate outside of the registration process. If a potential supplier contacts an executive or associate, that will be considered grounds for disqualification. Completion of the supplier registration process does not imply a contract or intent to purchase by CareFirst.
