How Regence BlueShield of Idaho Credentialing Actually Works
Verified July 2026Apply Through
CAQH Provider Data Portal plus the Availity Onboarding Tracker
Timeline
Regence was publicly working a backlog of roughly three months on credentialing applications in mid 2026: plan accordingly
Recredentialing
Not published by the payer
Since June 15, 2026 Regence takes initial credentialing and recredentialing through the CAQH Provider Data Portal: authorize Regence, re-attest, then notify Regence through the CAQH profile notification form on its credentialing page. A copy of your IRS CP 575 or 147C letter is required to complete the application, which is the distinctive Regence gate.
Behavioral health routing: No behavioral carve out vendor is named: behavioral practitioners use the same CAQH path.
The stall to avoid: Two silent stalls: skipping the CAQH profile notification form (Regence does not know you applied), and omitting the CP 575 or 147C IRS letter. Track status in the Onboarding Tracker under Availity payer spaces.
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.
