Not published by the payer
CAQH based practitioner credentialing with published criteria per provider type, including a behavioral specific one.
Behavioral health routing: Behavioral practitioners credential directly under BCBSKS's behavioral criteria.
The stall to avoid: Territory trap: BCBSKS serves every Kansas county EXCEPT Johnson and Wyandotte. Metro Kansas City providers belong to Blue KC, a different Blue licensee with its own credentialing. Filing with the wrong Kansas Blue is a real intake error.
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.
