Provider and facility applications

We're working to streamline the administrative process for physicians and other health care providers to make getting credentialed easier.

Provider application (credentialing + enrollment)

Step 1 of 3

Get credentialed with CAQH Provider Data Portal

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) credentials all practitioners of care, ancillary and facility providers applying for membership in the network(s). 

All providers and facilities in our network need to be recredentialed every three years.

Step 2 of 3

Email Blue Cross NC with CAQH ID #

Send an email to credentialing@bcbsnc.com with your CAQH ID number. Make sure you've completed your CAQH application before emailing us. We'll start reviewing once we receive your email. 

Step 3 of 3

Register your NPI number

Providers need to register their NPI number to submit claims and receive direct payment to their bank account through electronic funds transfer (EFT). However, direct payment is not guaranteed even if the NPI is registered. Only providers with a Blue Cross NC contract can receive direct payment.

 

Have you already registered your NPI?

If you are an out-of-network provider who previously received payment for services from Blue Cross NC, you have already registered your NPI with us. You will need to contact Blue Cross NC Provider Service at 800-777-1643. Choose option 6 to continue the enrollment process.
