Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to know about credentialing?
Who is this for?
If you want to join our network, credentialing is part of the process. This will help give you an overview of what that involves.
To join our network as a new provider, the first thing you’ll do is fill out an enrollment form. Then we verify that the information submitted is accurate. Depending on the type of provider you are, we want to know you have the appropriate license, education, insurance and other qualifications. That verification process is called credentialing.
Our online provider enrollment is split into two sections: one for hospitals and facilities and one for physicians and professionals, also called practitioners. Here’s what you need to know about credentialing for each section.
For hospitals and facilities
We handle Great post to read the credentialing process for hospitals and facilities. You’ll just need to fill out the appropriate enrollment form based on your facility type. Then make sure you review the required document checklist and provide all the necessary documentation along with any signature documents. The checklist and signature documents are available online from within provider enrollment. When credentialing is complete, we’ll notify you of your status.
