This is an Elevance Health (Anthem) Medicaid brand. The federal Medicaid rule applies: an active state Medicaid ID is required first (42 CFR 438.602). Credentialing then flows from CAQH ProView through Availity's Digital Provider Enrollment.
Behavioral health routing: Behavioral health is carved out to Carelon Behavioral Health. Behavioral clinicians credential with Carelon, not with Anthem medical.
The stall to avoid: Enroll with the state Medicaid program before applying, and route behavioral applications to Carelon, not the medical network.

Common questions about Amerigroup (Wellpoint) credentialing
How long does Amerigroup (Wellpoint) credentialing take?
Amerigroup (Wellpoint) credentialing typically takes 60–90 days from a complete submission to an approved effective date. Incomplete applications are the main cause of delay: a missing document or an unattested CAQH profile restarts the clock rather than pausing it.
Does Amerigroup (Wellpoint) require CAQH?
Yes. Amerigroup (Wellpoint) pulls provider data from CAQH ProView, so your profile must be complete, attested and shared with Amerigroup (Wellpoint) before the application can move. CAQH re-attestation runs on a 120-day cycle, and a lapsed attestation stalls both new enrollments and recredentialing.
Which states does Amerigroup (Wellpoint) operate in?
Amerigroup (Wellpoint) has credentialing operations in 18 states. 18 of those 18 currently show an open panel. Requirements are not uniform: local plan names, provider portals and state-specific conditions differ, which is what the state-by-state table above records.
