How Qualigenix Serves Allentown Practices
Qualigenix credentialing services give Allentown practices one specialist who tracks each application to a decision. Credentialing in Lehigh County comes in layers: a provider who wants to see Medicaid patients needs an active Medical Assistance enrollment with the state, then a separate approval from each HealthChoices plan, and behavioral health providers add Magellan on top. We line those steps up in one plan, so a new provider isn't seeing patients nobody can bill. Statewide enrollment and licensing rules are on our credentialing services in Pennsylvania page. This page covers the Allentown side.
What Credentialing Services Does Qualigenix Provide in Allentown?
Qualigenix handles credentialing for Allentown groups and individual providers: data collection, primary source verification, CAQH ProView, Medical Assistance enrollment, Medicare enrollment through PECOS, HealthChoices and commercial applications, follow-up, revalidation and re-credentialing.
One credentialing specialist owns your account and reports status for every payer. Pricing is $99 per payer application. Payers make the final approval decision.
Credentialing for Lehigh County's HealthChoices Plans
Lehigh County sits in the HealthChoices Lehigh/Capital zone. DHS lists five physical health plans there: AmeriHealth Caritas Pennsylvania, Geisinger Health Plan, Jefferson Health Plans EverWell, Highmark Wholecare and UPMC for You.
State Enrollment First
Every Allentown provider who bills Medicaid needs a Medical Assistance enrollment through DHS, with a PROMISe ID for each service location. DHS requires each service location to revalidate every five years and asks providers to file at least 60 days before the due date. A lapsed enrollment can deny claims and end participation with the HealthChoices plans. Qualigenix tracks every location's revalidation date and files early.
Each Plan Separately
Each HealthChoices plan runs its own credentialing, so Qualigenix submits to every plan your practice wants to join and follows each one to a decision. Behavioral health providers are credentialed with Magellan Behavioral Health of Pennsylvania, which runs Lehigh County's behavioral HealthChoices program. Practices serving dual-eligible and long-term-care patients can also join the three Community HealthChoices plans operating today: AmeriHealth Caritas, PA Health & Wellness and UPMC Community HealthChoices.
Statewide Licensing Rules
Licensing, Medical Assistance enrollment and revalidation rules for the whole state are on our Pennsylvania credentialing rules page.
Medicare and Commercial Payers for Allentown Practices
Medicare enrollment for Allentown providers runs through PECOS and is processed by Novitas Solutions, the Jurisdiction L contractor for Pennsylvania. Qualigenix prepares the enrollment, links reassignments to your group and tracks Medicare revalidation dates. Dual-eligible special needs plans, such as Highmark Wholecare Medicare Assured Diamond, credential providers separately from traditional Medicare. Capital Blue Cross, the Blue plan for the Lehigh Valley, uses CAQH ProView as its only credentialing system, notifies providers of decisions within 60 days of its credentialing committee's review and re-credentials at least every three years. Qualigenix keeps each provider's CAQH profile current and waits for Capital's second notice confirming effective dates before scheduling members. Licenses are verified through the Pennsylvania Licensing System for the State Board of Medicine and State Board of Osteopathic Medicine.
