TammyL:
Okay I have a new provider who is a MA, LPC and she wants to get credentialed with other insurance companies besides medicaid she' on the caqh so how do i go about getting her on more panels would it be thru insurance companies or thru the caqh.

Michele:
You have to contact each insurance carrier individually and see if they are accepting new providers in her area and if they credential MA, LPC's.  Having the CAQH already done is helpful.

TammyL:
That's what I thought just wanted a second opinion

laceyx08:
I'm confused on how they get the provider ID to fill out the application. The website talks about the CAQH provider ID that was sent to you, I don't know how they get it.

Michele:
CAQH provider ID's are assigned/created by an insurance carrier.  CAQH does not issue the numbers to providers.  If a provider wants to join the network, or recredential with an insurance carrier that uses CAQH, that carrier will issue the provider a CAQH number.  Then the provider can go to the CAQH website and click on "logging in for the first time" to complete the application.
