AmeriHealth Caritas is a Medicaid focused family of per state plans: you contract with the specific state plan, not the national company. The federal Medicaid rule applies: an active state Medicaid ID is required first (42 CFR 438.602), and credentialing works from your CAQH data in most states.
The stall to avoid: Enroll with the state Medicaid program first, and route the application to the specific state plan's provider enrollment channel.
From PayerReady's payer enrollment research, built from the payer's own provider manuals and enrollment pages. Payer processes change; when a fact is not published by the payer, we say so rather than guess.
