Individual practitioners

Register with the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH)⁠ and keep your profile up-to-date. Credentialing verifies your education, training, licensure, and professional history.

After registering, email your CAQH ID to credentialing@bcbsnc.com.

Submit the Individual Practitioner Enrollment form.

Enrollment tells us where and how you practice so we can register your NPI in our systems.

After completing the first three steps, you'll receive a Network Participation Agreement.

If you don’t receive your agreement within 30 days of finishing these first three steps, contact us at 800‑777‑1643, option 6.

You'll need to update your practice location and affiliations in CAQH⁠. Once updated, email your CAQH ID to credentialing@bcbsnc.com.

If you are not sure whether you are credentialed, start with CAQH. We’ll use that information to confirm your status.

Enrollment ensures your services are billed and paid correctly at each location. Even if you’re already credentialed, enrollment links you, your NPI, and your new practice location in our systems. Without this step, claims may be delayed or denied.

If you are adding yourself to one or two new locations or if you're the only practitioner being added, complete the Individual Practitioner Enrollment form.

If a group needs to add multiple practitioners or a group is expanding locations, complete the Group Enrollment form. This form can be used if there are 50 or more practitioners or locations.
