A recent MultiPlan audit performed on Primoris Credentialing Network’s delegated provider enrollment policies and procedures in March 2022 showed that Primoris’ policies and procedures were found to be complete and meet all requirements for:
- Credentialing.
- Recredentialing.
- Appeals.
- Ongoing monitoring.
- Provider rights.
- System controls.
Primoris Credentialing Network and MultiPlan have a solid partnership. MultiPlan is on the impressive list of delegated contracted companies and a remarkable list of Primoris’ 54+ health plan and network provider enrollment options.
MultiPlan Audit and The Importance of Provider Enrollment Audits
Suppose a company like Primoris has a delegation agreement with a private healthcare insurer or government payor for primary source verification or provider enrollment. In that case, they can expect to receive a delegated oversight or payor audit each year.
These audits, such as the MultiPlan audit, gauge how well a company complies with payor and accreditor regulations. Areas evaluated include:
- adherence to certifying body standards,
- data management technology security,
- information handling policies and procedures, and
- roster quality and accuracy.
These audits help ensure that providers are being correctly credentialed. Inadequate credentialing can result in providers with histories of malpractice slipping through and being allowed to treat patients. It can also result in providers being denied enrollment despite having no history of negligence.
MultiPlan Audit: One of Many Successful Audits
The MultiPlan audit of delegated provider enrollment is only one of the recent audits that Primoris has passed. When HealthSmart audited the company in December 2021, Primoris scored 100% in every area they were assessed.
This latest achievement further demonstrates that Primoris’ reputation as the largest credentialing independent physician association in the Midwest and one of the largest in the country is secure and growing.
The Primoris team continues to put their 387+ years of industry experience to skillful use. Our mission to give providers smarter, simpler, and better enrollment becomes more robust with every network they add to their roster.
MultiPlan + Primoris: The Power of Delegated Contracts
Delegated contracts result in faster provider health plan enrollment, which means providers can start billing sooner rather than later. Delegated contracts allow Primoris to use one application to add a provider to multiple plans and networks much faster than sending an application to each plan.
Primoris is the largest IPA in the Midwest, offering 54+ health plan and network provider enrollment options and delegated by most major plans in Oklahoma. Always looking ahead, the IPA is adding dozens of other plans in Illinois, Missouri, and Texas.
Alongside MultiPlan, Primoris’ current delegated health plan enrollment options include:
- Aetna
- GlobalHealth
- HealthSmart
- Humana
- Longevity Health Plan
- Prime Health Services
- United Healthcare
- and more
Primoris’ current non-delegated and entirely administered health plan enrollment options include:
- BlueCross BlueShield of OK
- CareATC
- Community Care
- Integris Health
