Recredentialing
Cigna networks recredential every three years in most states
Cigna's behavioral network is a fully separate entity: Evernorth Behavioral Health, renamed from Cigna Behavioral Health in September 2021. Behavioral clinicians contact Evernorth directly at (800) 926-2273 and credential there using CAQH ProView.
Behavioral health routing: Evernorth credentials licensed clinical social workers, professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, and psychologists directly.
The stall to avoid: Filing behavioral credentialing through Cigna medical routes you to the wrong entity and the application stalls. Grant CAQH access permission or the electronic pull silently fails.
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.

Common questions about Evernorth Behavioral Health credentialing
How long does Evernorth Behavioral Health credentialing take?
Evernorth Behavioral Health credentialing typically takes 30–60 days from a complete submission to an approved effective date. Incomplete applications are the main cause of delay: a missing document or an unattested CAQH profile restarts the clock rather than pausing it.
Does Evernorth Behavioral Health require CAQH?
Yes. Evernorth Behavioral Health pulls provider data from CAQH ProView, so your profile must be complete, attested and shared with Evernorth Behavioral Health before the application can move. CAQH re-attestation runs on a 120-day cycle, and a lapsed attestation stalls both new enrollments and recredentialing.
Which states does Evernorth Behavioral Health operate in?
Evernorth Behavioral Health has credentialing operations in 51 states. 51 of those 51 currently show an open panel. Requirements are not uniform: local plan names, provider portals and state-specific conditions differ, which is what the state-by-state table above records.
