Anthem Wellpoint Credentialing for Mental Health Providers

Anthem, now operating under the Wellpoint brand in several of its Medicaid markets, is one of the larger Blue Cross Blue Shield affiliates and a high-volume panel in the states where it operates. Because Anthem uses CAQH as its primary data source, a clean and current CAQH profile makes a significant difference in how quickly your application moves.

What Anthem Wellpoint Credentialing Involves

Anthem pulls most credentialing data directly from your CAQH profile, so accuracy and attestation status matter before you ever submit an application.

Processing typically takes 60 to 120 days, and Anthem may request a site visit or additional documentation depending on your specialty and location.

•      We review and optimize your CAQH profile before submission

•      We complete and submit the Anthem Wellpoint network application

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Anthem the same as Wellpoint?

Wellpoint is the brand Anthem now uses for many of its Medicaid managed care plans, while Anthem remains the name for its commercial plans. We confirm which applies in your state.

How important is my CAQH profile for this application?

Very important. Anthem draws most of its credentialing data directly from CAQH, so an outdated or incomplete profile is one of the most common causes of delay.
