Joining an Existing Group Contract?

If you’re joining a medical group that already has a participation agreement with Centers Plan for Healthy Living, you won’t receive a contract directly. Instead, you’ll be added to the group agreement once your credentialing application has been approved. (This can take up to three weeks once credentialing is approved.)  

Important Note

Unless otherwise allowed by state regulations, you must be approved through both the credentialing and contracting processes – and receive confirmation from us that each step is complete – before you can see patients as an approved network provider.

Signing a New Contract with Centers Plan for Healthy Living?

Here’s what happens next:

Watch for Your Contract

Once we receive your CAQH- or state-approved credentialing application, we’ll send you a contract – called your participation agreement. This usually happens within 10 business days.
 
If you’ve given us an email address, we’ll send you the contract through the secure DocuSign application. (Learn more about DocuSign below.) If not, we’ll send it to you by U.S. mail. 

Keep in Mind: Getting a participation agreement from us doesn’t mean your credentialing application has been approved. To shorten the onboarding timeline, we’re sending you the agreement for review while your credentialing application is being verified. You’ll receive a decision on your credentialing application separately

Review the Agreement

Read through the contract and discuss it with others on your team, if needed.  If you have questions about the contract, please reach out to one of our someone from our contracting team.

Sign and Return the Agreement

Please return your signed agreement as soon as possible. We’ll then have it on hand, so that once your contract application is approved, you will then proceed to the credentialing phase. It can take up to four weeks for set-up to be completed.

Receive the Go-Ahead

We’ll let you know once your agreement is fully set up and you’re clear to begin seeing patients as a Centers Plan for Healthy Livings network provider. 

Important Note

You must be approved through the credentialing process and have a countersigned agreement before you can see patients as an approved network provider

What is DocuSign?

The Credentialing Program has been developed in accordance with state and federal requirements and accreditation guidelines. In accordance with those standards, Centers Plan for Healthy Livings members will not be referred and/or assigned to you until the credentialing process and contracting process have been completed.
