Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Anthem BCBS credentialing and enrollment for physiotherapists

How long does the Anthem BCBS credentialing process take?

The typical credentialing process takes 8-16 weeks from application submission to network activation. However, with PhysioMantra’s expert management and complete documentation, many providers are approved on the faster end of this timeline. Processing times can vary based on application volume and completeness of submitted materials.

What are the costs associated with Anthem BCBS credentialing?

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield does not charge providers a fee for credentialing. However, you may incur costs for required documentation such as background checks, license verifications, and professional liability insurance. PhysioMantra offers competitive credentialing service packages to handle the entire process on your behalf.

Do I need to be re-credentialed, and how often?

Yes, Anthem BCBS requires re-credentialing every 3 years to maintain your provider status. This process verifies that your credentials, licenses, and certifications remain current. PhysioMantra can manage your re-credentialing to ensure continuous network participation without interruption to your practice.

Can I see patients while my credentialing is in progress?

You cannot bill Anthem BCBS for services until your credentialing is complete and you receive network activation. However, you may see patients on a private pay basis. Some practices offer to retroactively bill insurance once credentialing is approved, though this requires specific arrangements and patient consent.

What happens if my application is denied or delayed?

Application denials are rare when documentation is complete and accurate. Most delays occur due to missing information, expired credentials, or incomplete background checks. PhysioMantra proactively monitors your application, addresses any issues immediately, and communicates with Anthem on your behalf to resolve concerns quickly.

How does PhysioMantra support me throughout the process?

PhysioMantra assigns a dedicated credentialing specialist to your case who will guide you through document collection, complete your application, submit to Anthem BCBS, track progress, handle any follow-up requests, and keep you informed every step of the way. We also provide ongoing support for re-credentialing and network maintenance.

What if I practice in multiple states?

If you hold licenses in multiple states and wish to join Anthem BCBS networks in each location, you’ll need to complete credentialing for each state separately. PhysioMantra can manage multi-state credentialing simultaneously, streamlining the process and ensuring all applications are coordinated efficiently.

Can I credential with other insurance companies simultaneously?

Absolutely! In fact, we recommend credentialing with multiple major insurers to maximize your patient base and revenue potential. PhysioMantra specializes in multi-payer credentialing and can manage applications with Anthem BCBS, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and other carriers concurrently.
