This form applies to newly licensed or recently relocated practitioners joining a group practice that
is already participating with the Plan. These practitioners are eligible for provisional credentialing
if they are applying to our Managed Care Organization networks and have not been credentialed
within 60 days of the Plan having received their completed application.
If you meet these criteria, you must also attest that should your application be denied, you or your
group practice will refund any payments made by EmblemHealth for network services provided that
exceed any out-of-network benefits payable under a member’s contract with EmblemHealth.
Further, you must attest that neither you nor your group practice shall pursue reimbursement from
members, except to collect the copayment or coinsurance that would otherwise be payable had a
member received services from a health care professional in the EmblemHealth network.
Please note: EmblemHealth has established the time frames for provisional credentialing for newly
licensed or relocated practitioners at 6 months, after the 60-day period for standard credentialing
has elapsed.
