Credentialing and Recredentialing
You must meet our standard credentialing criteria to become a health care professional in a Cigna network. Recredentialing is required every three years in most states. The recredentialing process requires you to meet the same criteria as you did during the initial credentialing process.
Here are our credentialing criteria:
You may be able to submit an application and agreement using the Council for Affordable Quality Health Care (CAQH) Universal Credentialing DataSource application at www.caqh.org.
Once we verify all your credentialing information, we'll present it to the health plan credentialing committee. This committee is composed of community physicians for peer review, and the health plan medical director. If you're accepted for participation in our network, you'll receive a "welcome" letter within 60 days of the date of the decision, or sooner, if required by state law.
