PROVIDERS/CREDENTIALING/OFFICE UPDATES:
The Health Plans credentialing timeframes may vary and range from 60 -180 days. Currently, the Networks are not delegated for credentialing and must adhere to the Health Plans credentialing documentation process/timeframe. We appreciate your cooperation and patience as we work with the Health Plans to get your paperwork processed. Should we need any additional information, we will contact your office.
You may begin treating members once you have been credentialed by the Health Plan, linked to the Network contract, and have received a Welcome Letter from the Network. The Welcome Letters will include the respective health plan, line of business, and effective date indicating when you can begin treating members.
