By contracting with Priority Health, providers agree to abide by, comply with and participate in any and all policies and procedures of Priority Health and its plans. When we receive your complete credentialing information, it can take us up to 80 calendar days to process your request.

• To be eligible for Medicaid participation, you must be actively enrolled in CHAMPS.
• Once you're credentialed and your contracts have been executed, you'll receive a comment on your inquiry in prism with your network effective date. You can begin billing for dates of service on the effective date. Claims submitted before the effective date may result in incorrect payment or denial. 

Priority Health doesn't apply effective dates retroactively. You shouldn't see our members seeking in-network care from Priority Health providers until you receive notice from us that your request for network participation is complete, along with a network effective date. If you see a Priority Health member before you receive a network effective date, you must inform the member that your services are out of network. Claims submitted to us before you receive a network effective date will be denied as “care available in plan.”

Requesting medical records

Priority Health or authorized third party vendors, representing Priority Health, may periodically request access to or copies of Medical Records for a variety of business reasons.

Records may be requested for the purpose of, Medical Record or Billing Record reviews, HEDIS, care management or risk adjustment, as examples.

Medical Record requests, will be in accordance with the terms of the Participation Agreement between Priority Health and provider. Requests will be subject to all applicable laws and confidentiality provisions in the Agreement.

Priority Health prefers to work with providers to obtain needed Medical Records through a secure, remote EMR access or alternate electronic methods. Remote access options, to obtain needed Medical Records can prevent on-site retrieval that can be both inefficient and disruptive.

Providers who utilizes a vendor to produce copies of medical records are responsible for assuring that their vendor supplies requested Medical Records in accordance with the Participation Agreement between Priority Health and Participating Provider.
