California Reportable Disease Information Exchange (CalREDIE) Provider Portal

Healthcare Providers can report and submit all required Title 17 Communicable Disease CMR’s electronically 
through the online California Reportable Disease Information Exchange (CalREDIE) Provider Portal.

• The CalREDIE Provider Portal (PP) provides secure access for Healthcare Providers to electronically submit Confidential Morbidity Reports (CMRs), required by California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 17, Section 2500 et seq., directly to Local Health Departments (LHD).

• CMRs received via the PP are available in real-time to Local Health Staff for investigation and follow-up, thus reducing the burden of data entry at the local level and increasing the timeliness of reporting.

• (For more information on how to utilize and access the CalREDIE Provider Portal, please contact the Shasta County Public Health Branch (Communicable Disease Unit) at (530) 225-5591, and/or please visit: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/CalREDIE-Provider-Portal.aspx).

**Failure to report is a citable offense and subject to civil penalty ($250) (Health and Safety Code 105200).
