Timeline
No published day count: decisions follow the credentialing committee cadence, which meets at least monthly. Do not promise a fixed date.
Recredentialing
Every 36 months
Fidelis Care is Centene's New York brand: Medicaid under Fidelis Care, Medicare under the Wellcare By Fidelis Care label. Contract with the New York entity; credentialing data flows from CAQH ProView, and Medicaid products require active NY Medicaid enrollment first.
Behavioral health routing: Behavioral health has historically run through Magellan, which Centene is divesting (sale pending as of spring 2026). Whether your state routes behavioral in house or through Magellan is state and date specific: resolve it before applying.
The stall to avoid: The classic stall is contracting the wrong entity: a national inquiry instead of the specific state plan. Find the state plan's own join page and route there.
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 Fidelis credentialing
How long does Fidelis credentialing take?
Fidelis credentialing typically takes 60–90 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 Fidelis require CAQH?
Yes. Fidelis pulls provider data from CAQH ProView, so your profile must be complete, attested and shared with Fidelis 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 Fidelis operate in?
Fidelis has credentialing operations in 1 state. 1 of those 1 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.
