Recredentialing
Most Blues recredential on a three year cycle
This is an independent Blue Cross Blue Shield licensee: there is no national BCBS credentialing, and each of the 33 licensees runs its own process. Like most independent Blues, it works from your CAQH ProView data with Availity as the portal gateway. Check the plan's own provider enrollment page for its specific intake form before starting.
The stall to avoid: The classic Blues mistake is assuming participation in one state's Blue carries to another: it never does. Each licensee credential runs separately, and your service address decides which Blue owns your application.
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.
