How Qualigenix Serves Richmond Practices
Qualigenix credentialing services follow the order Virginia payers require. A Richmond provider can't join a Cardinal Care plan network until they're enrolled with DMAS, can't bill Medicare until enrollment clears with Palmetto GBA, and can't see commercial patients in network until each carrier approves the application. Skip a step and claims deny for an enrollment reason, not a clinical one. We build one provider profile, verify it with primary sources and use it for every application. Statewide enrollment and licensure rules are on our credentialing services in Virginia page. The sections below cover what Richmond providers need for Cardinal Care, Medicare and commercial payers.
What Credentialing Services Does Qualigenix Provide in Richmond?
Qualigenix handles provider credentialing and payer enrollment for Richmond practices: data collection, primary source verification, CAQH ProView upkeep, Virginia Medicaid enrollment in PRSS, contracts with Cardinal Care plans, Medicare enrollment, commercial applications and re-credentialing. Pricing is $99 per payer application.
Payers make the final approval decision, and we submit, track and follow up until they do.
Credentialing for Richmond's Cardinal Care Plans
Qualigenix enrolls Richmond providers with DMAS first, then contracts them with each Cardinal Care health plan, because Virginia Medicaid plans cannot contract with a provider who isn't enrolled in PRSS.
PRSS Enrollment Comes First
Every Virginia Medicaid provider, fee-for-service or health plan network, must enroll through PRSS, the DMAS provider portal. Plans are barred from contracting with providers who aren't enrolled there. We file the PRSS enrollment and match license, taxonomy and service locations to what you bill.
Five-Year Revalidation Cycle
PRSS enrollment must be revalidated at least every five years. DMAS sends notices about 90, 60 and 30 days before the due date, and a missed revalidation ends participation with fee-for-service and every Cardinal Care plan. We track each provider's date and start early.
Contracts With Each Plan
Providers contract with each Cardinal Care plan individually: Aetna Better Health of Virginia, Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, Humana Healthy Horizons in Virginia, Sentara Health Plans and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Humana joined on July 1, 2025, when Molina left. We apply to the plans your patients use.
Medicare and Commercial Payers for Richmond Practices
Qualigenix files Medicare enrollment through PECOS for Richmond providers, processed by Palmetto GBA as the Jurisdiction M contractor. We also handle Medicare benefit assignment and keep Medicare data aligned with PRSS, since DMAS checks the two records against each other. For commercial carriers regulated in Virginia, the law gives a clear timeline. A credentialing application is deemed complete 30 days after the carrier receives it unless the carrier says otherwise, and the carrier must approve or deny a complete application within 60 days. Once a provider is approved, the carrier must pay for covered services from the date the complete application was received. We log each submission date so those protections work for you.
