INSTRUCTIONS
PLAN PARTICIPATION CHECKLIST
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please take careful consideration before filling out the Plan Participation Checklist. Once you have made your selections,
and sent the document to us, our Provider Relations team will submit the information to the payors. It generally takes
30 - 180 days to be loaded to the payors. If you are adding a provider to your group, PLEASE refer to the PPCL the
established providers use. Please utilize the PPCL of the established providers as a guide for the new provider’s PPCL. If
not, it can cause inconsistencies in plan participation within the group. Subsequently, PPCL corrections are often
submitted too quickly after the initial PPCL has been processed, which causes issues and backlogs in the loading process.
It is important to wait a minimum of 6 months before making changes to plan participation by sending us another
PPCL. To avoid this, take the time to make careful selections on the initial PPCL, keeping a selection template at the
practice level, and reading all checklist instructions, bylines, and participation criteria thoroughly.
If you are pending a Medicare PTAN and/or Medicaid TPI but plan to accept Medicare Advantage and Medicaid managed
care plans in the future, please make your selections for these plans on your initial checklist. Once we receive your
Medicare PTAN and/or Medicaid TPI we will automatically enroll you in the plans you selected.
To establish valuable organization with the networks, and maintain your revenue cycle we recommend you make
minimal changes. For this reason, we are limiting our members to a maximum of 2 plan changes per fiscal year October
1 September 30. If you need to change your plan participation more than 2 times in a fiscal year, there is a $350
charge to process each additional change. Please note this does not include new plan offerings when we send out opt-in
forms with solicitations.
I have read, and I understand the information above.
