Check existing participation first
A provider already listed in the directory should use the appropriate maintenance path rather than submit a duplicate participation request.
Classify the provider type
Individual, clinic, and qualifying facility intake paths differ, including during the temporary pause.
Interest is not approval
An interest form or facility request is not an effective date, a contract, or authorization to bill as participating.
Follow the outcome record
Retain submission confirmation, missing-information requests, credentialing correspondence, and the final approval/effective-date or non-approval notice.
Evidence worth retaining
A durable record makes it possible to see which checkpoint is complete and which one still blocks payment.
Directory check
The provider identity, state, locations, and result of the current participation search.
Provider-type route
The current dated notice and the individual, clinic, or facility path selected.
Submission record
Interest-form or facility-request confirmation and all requested follow-up material.
Final disposition
Written participation outcome, effective date, locations, products, and the billing records updated afterward.
Public guidance boundary
This page is not the payer's contract or an enrollment determination.
The payer's current documentation, written correspondence, executed agreement, and applicable law control. OneSource does not guarantee network need, acceptance, processing time, effective date, reimbursement, or continued availability of a workflow.
- Verify the source immediately before use
- Keep provider, entity, product, and location scope explicit
- Do not submit claims until the practice has the required participation and billing evidence
