Government Enrollments

Medicare is one enrollment per provider. Medicaid starts with one enrollment with your state. In most states you then join each Medicaid health plan you want to see patients through, and each plan is its own application. A few states pay providers directly and have no plans to join.

Count each Medicare or Medicaid program in each state separately. Choose the practice state below for TRICARE or VA Community Care.

FAQ

State Credentialing Questions

Does Credentialing Cost More In Some States?

No, our credentialing price is the same in every state. Contracts in your own name or for a new group are $2,000 for two payers, which is $1,000 setup plus $500 per payer, and a provider joining contracts your clinic already holds is $1,550 for two payers, which is $750 setup plus $400 per payer.

Do I Need A Separate Application For Each State?

For commercial insurance, usually not, because contracting follows the insurance company’s network rather than where your patient lives. National carriers like Aetna, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare cover every state you’re licensed in on one contract, and Blue plans reach out of state Blue members through BlueCard. You still need a license in each state where you see patients, and Medicaid is enrolled state by state.

Is Medicaid Included In The Price?

No, Medicaid, Medicare and other government plans are separate enrollments at $450 per plan, and TRICARE and VA Community Care are $500 each. You can add any of them to your order in the builder above.

Which Insurance Companies Should I Apply To?

Start with the plans your patients carry most. Each state credentialing page lists that state’s main Medicaid plans and commercial insurance companies, along with its Medicaid enrollment forms.
