Recredentialing
Not published by the payer
Practitioner applications run through the CAQH Provider Data Portal: authorize BCBSND and keep your data current. Directory validation runs through Availity Essentials. Application questions go to prov.net@bcbsnd.com.
The stall to avoid: Keep the CAQH profile attested and BCBSND authorized, or the application never starts processing.
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.
