Credentialing and Contracting Process for Ancillary Providers

Step 1: Provider Record ID Set up

You cannot complete credentialing and contracting process below until you have been assigned a provider record ID. Complete the Ancillary Provider Record Request Form  and fax to the number on the form along with the supporting documents indicated on the form.

Step 2: Complete the Provider Questionnaire and Ancillary Checklist

Once you have an established provider record ID, complete the Credentialing/Recredentialing Ancillary/Hospital Provider Questionnaire .

You must include the appropriate information indicated below on the Ancillary Credentialing Checklists. The Credentialing/Recredentialing Ancillary/Hospital Provider Questionnaire and any additional information required should be sent to the appropriate email address as indicated below by specialty.

To participate in the BCBSTX network(s), once the provider receives confirmation that credentialing is approved, the provider should contact the Ancillary Contracting mailbox listed above by specialty to initiate the contracting process.
