All information provided in this, or in connection with this application, is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge, and
I shall immediately notify Amerigroup Iowa, Inc. of any changes thereto. I understand that this application does not entitle me to
participation in the Amerigroup network. By applying for appointment as an Amerigroup participating provider, I authorize the
plan, its medical director and appropriate representatives to consult with administrators and members of other institutions where
I have been associated, including past and present malpractice carriers who may have information bearing on my professional
competence, character and ethical qualifications. I hereby further consent to the inspection by Amerigroup, its medical director
and appropriate representatives, of all records and documents, excluding medical records of nonmembers of Amerigroup plans,
that may be material to an evaluation of any professional qualifications and competence to carry out the requested duties, as well
as my moral and ethical qualifications for participating provider status with Amerigroup. I consent and agree that Amerigroup will
complete a criminal history background check to determine if I, or any subcontracted providers, have any history of felony
convictions, including adjudication withheld on a felony, plea or nolo contendere to a felony or entry into a pretrial for a felony. I
agree to obtain any consents or approvals required for my subcontracted providers to undergo such background checks. I hereby
release Amerigroup and its representatives from liability for their acts performed in good faith and without malice in connection
with evaluating my application, credentials and qualifications. I hereby release any individuals and organizations from any liability
that provide information to Amerigroup or its staff in good faith and without malice concerning my professional competence,
ethics, character and other qualifications, and I hereby consent to the release of such information. By executing this application, I
confirm that I am bound by the terms of the ancillary agreement between me or my group and Amerigroup, as such terms may be
applicable to me.
I understand that as an applicant for participation in Amerigroup, I have the right to review information obtained from primary
verification sources during the credentialing process. I further understand that upon notification from Amerigroup, I have the
right to explain any information obtained that may vary substantially from that provided by me and correct any erroneous
information submitted by another party. This shall be accomplished by my submission of a written explanation or by appearance
before the credentialing committee, if they so request. I further understand that I may appeal the committee’s decision either in
writing or by appearance before the credentialing committee, if they so request.
