Credentialing
AmeriHealth Caritas VIP Care (HMO-SNP) is responsible for the credentialing and recredentialing of its provider network. All providers credentialed by AmeriHealth Caritas VIP Care must also be enrolled with the Medicare program and, as such, must agree to comply with all pertinent Medicare regulations.
Getting credentialed
AmeriHealth Caritas VIP Care works with the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH) to offer providers a Universal Provider Data source that simplifies and streamlines the data collection process for credentialing and recredentialing.
To obtain information on all the required credentialing documents, in addition to those found in a provider's CAQH record − or for providers who prefer a paper credentialing process − please contact AmeriHealth Caritas VIP Care Provider Services for assistance at 1-833-433-2177 or your local Account Executive.
