Recredentialing
Not published by the payer
VSP has the strictest gate in vision: doctors must hold at least 51 percent ownership of their practice and dispensary (individually or with other ODs or MDs), carry professional liability of at least 1 million per occurrence and 3 million aggregate, and optometrists must be TPA certified. Medicare participation is required of all VSP network doctors. Credentialing follows NCQA standards.
The stall to avoid: The 51 percent ownership requirement excludes most employed and corporate-affiliated doctors: check eligibility before investing in the application. Credentialing contact: credentialing@vsp.com, (800) 742-6907 option 3.

Common questions about VSP Vision Care credentialing
How long does VSP Vision Care credentialing take?
VSP Vision Care 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 VSP Vision Care require CAQH?
No. VSP Vision Care does not enroll through CAQH ProView, so credentialing data is submitted directly on VSP Vision Care's own application instead. You still need the same underlying documents — license, DEA where applicable, malpractice coverage and work history.
Which states does VSP Vision Care operate in?
VSP Vision Care 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.
