How Qualigenix Serves Virginia Beach Practices
Credentialing in Virginia Beach means working several systems at once. Cardinal Care requires state enrollment in PRSS plus a separate contract with each of five health plans. Medicare enrollment runs through PECOS and Palmetto GBA. Practices that see military families from Naval Air Station Oceana and Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story can apply to the TRICARE East network. Sentara Health Plans, headquartered in Virginia Beach, credentials providers for its commercial, Medicaid and D-SNP products. Statewide rules, including the timelines carriers owe new applicants, are covered on our credentialing services in Virginia page.
What Credentialing Services Does Qualigenix Provide in Virginia Beach?
Qualigenix credentialing services cover data collection, primary source verification, CAQH ProView upkeep, payer applications, follow-up and re-credentialing for Virginia Beach providers. That includes DMAS enrollment in PRSS, Medicare enrollment through PECOS and an application to each payer your practice needs.
Pricing is $99 per payer application, and each payer makes its own approval decision.
Credentialing for Virginia Beach's Cardinal Care Plans
Getting a Virginia Beach provider paid by Cardinal Care takes two separate approvals, one from the state and one from each plan. Qualigenix tracks both on the same status report.
PRSS Enrollment Comes First
Every provider who treats Cardinal Care members, including providers who only see managed care members, must enroll directly with DMAS through the Provider Services Solution (PRSS) portal, a requirement tied to the federal 21st Century Cures Act. Enrollment must be revalidated at least every five years. DMAS terminates providers who miss their revalidation date from both fee-for-service and managed care networks until they re-enroll. Qualigenix files the PRSS application, records each provider's revalidation date and starts revalidation ahead of it. We also keep enrollment matched to every service location and provider type, since services billed outside the enrolled specialty don't pay.
Contracts with Each Plan
After PRSS, the provider still needs a contract with each Cardinal Care plan the practice wants: Aetna Better Health of Virginia, Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, Humana Healthy Horizons in Virginia, Sentara Health Plans and UnitedHealthcare. Each plan runs its own credentialing. Virginia's carrier credentialing timelines also apply to Medicaid HMOs, so a plan must approve or deny a completed application within 60 days. Those timelines don't cover Medicare Advantage, so Qualigenix tracks each plan's D-SNP participation as its own line, with its own follow-up dates.
Statewide Virginia Credentialing Rules
Virginia's carrier timelines, pending-application payment rules and Board of Medicine licensure apply across the state. Our page on Virginia provider credentialing rules covers how Qualigenix handles them.
Medicare and Commercial Payers for Virginia Beach Practices
Medicare enrollment for Virginia Beach providers runs through PECOS and is processed by Palmetto GBA, the Jurisdiction M contractor for Virginia. TRICARE East is administered by Humana Military, and Qualigenix prepares network applications for practices that want in-network status with military families. On commercial payers, Virginia law sets clear carrier timelines: an application counts as complete 30 days after receipt unless the carrier says otherwise, and the carrier must approve or deny within 60 days of a complete application. When the provider's group already contracts with that carrier, covered services during the pending period are paid at the in-network rate within 40 days after the provider is credentialed and contracted. The provider must give patients written notice of the pending application first, and Qualigenix supplies the notice text. CAQH ProView profiles are re-attested on a 90-day cadence so they never pass CAQH's 120-day limit.

How Onboarding Works
Qualigenix runs credentialing for a Virginia Beach provider in six steps, from data intake to confirmed effective dates.
01
Provider Data Collection
We gather NPI, Virginia license, DEA certificate, board certification, CV and work history, malpractice certificate, CAQH access, W-9 and tax ID into one payer-ready profile.
02
Primary Source Verification
Licenses are verified with the Virginia Department of Health Professions, along with board certification, DEA registration, education and malpractice history, to NCQA and CMS standards.
03
CAQH Profile Kept Current
We build or update the CAQH ProView profile, attach current documents and re-attest it every 90 days.
04
Applications Filed by Payer
PRSS, PECOS, Cardinal Care plan, TRICARE East and commercial applications go out with credentials attached and submission dates logged.
05
Weekly Payer Follow-Up
Each pending payer gets a weekly or biweekly check, with escalation when one stalls and a status report after each round.
06
Reporting and Re-Credentialing
You get status per payer, approval and effective dates and expiring-credential alerts, and the next re-credentialing date goes on the calendar.
