How Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Credentialing Actually Works
Verified July 2026Apply Through
Timeline
Arizona law (SB 1291) sets a 60 day credentialing deadline and 130 day claims load deadline, with retro pay to the complete application date
Recredentialing
Not published by the payer
The web form wants your CAQH Provider ID, individual and group NPIs, your Arizona license number with the date you were first licensed in Arizona, and DEA if applicable. Therapy professionals in a group need the group's facility contract on file first.
The stall to avoid: The form cannot be saved partially: assemble every document and number before you start, or you lose the work. Past day 60, cite SB 1291.
