    Dear Provider:

    Thank you for your inquiry regarding the membership process for joining Purchase Health Partners (PHP). To become a member of Purchase Health Partners, please adhere to the following requests:

    Obtain CAQH number (Council For Affordable Quality Healthcare).
    If requested PHP will acquire a CAQH number for you.
    Go online when in receipt of CAQH number at https://caqh.geoaccess.com/das
    If you DO NOT have internet access, inform PHP and we will mail a hard copy of your CAQH application.
    Complete your application online; the entire process will take approximately two (2) hours.
    Update your application online every ninety (90) days, which usually requires approximately 5-10 minutes.

    Please be reminded to mail a check to the PHP office in the amount of $150 to cover the cost of processing the application and credentialing primary source verification. When in receipt of processing fees, PHP will pull the completed CAQH application for further processing. In addition to the above fees every year each provider is invoiced $150 for the annual dues (January-December).

    It has been taking approximately 10-12 weeks to complete a credentialing file after receipt in our office. When the process is complete, I will send a letter to your office to inform you of credentialed status and PHP effective date. All new provider data elements will be sent electronically via monthly payor update to contracted networks.

    Be aware that rendering services and billing for patients care prior to a provider’s effective date in respective networks carries a high risk that the claim will be paid as out of network. In addition, common industry practice does not allow using retroactive effective dates. Please reference our website, www.php-ppo.com and click on payor contract list; these are the networks you are contracted with thru the organization.

    Thank you again for your interest in PHP and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

    Sincerely,


    Wendy Mitchuson
    Credentialing/Provider Specialist
