Credentialing is an essential part of aligning each provider to each payer contract. In order to complete this step, please work with each specific payer to follow their payer process accordingly. If you have questions about each process, please follow the links provided that will guide you to the payer website as applicable. If you still have further questions, please reach out to your Affinia Health Network Representative.
Authorizations are required at times to ensure that essential tests are approved and reduce costs that could be considered unnecessary. Our goal at Affinia Health Network is to ease as much administrative burden as possible by providing you a grid that shows not only how to obtain these authorizations but also providing you with information that guides you to each payer directly for further and up to date information. For further updates or other tools you may find helpful, please contact your Affinia Health Network Representative.
Payers use various tools and processes for obtaining these authorizations. If you need assistance getting access to these, please visit the selected payer pages for directions.
As a part of one of our Clinically Integrated Network Standards and Goals, we work to keep our patients in our network. In order to do this we want to provide you with the tools from our payers and also our network guide. If there is further information you are seeking, please consult your Affinia Health Network Representative.
