Disclaimer
This application is to facilitate your request to join the Group Health Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin (GHC-SCW) network. Completing this application does not guarantee that your organization will be approved as a contracted provider. Your request will be reviewed, and if approved, your organization will undergo contracting and credentialing. If denied, your organization will receive a written notification with the denial decision.
GHC-SCW reserves the right to not consider incomplete applications and encourages applicants to provide as much information as possible. If GHC-SCW needs more information about your request to make a determination, we will contact you.
If your organization is approved, it is important to note that GHC-SCW members cannot receive care from your organization until the effective date of the contract AND credentialing has been completed. If a GHC-SCW member receives care from your organization prior to the effective date of the contract and completion of credentialing, claims will be denied for HMO members or paid as out-of-network for POS and PPO members. Credentialing dates cannot be backdated due to NCQA requirements. The credentialing process for the GHC-SCW network can take anywhere from 45 to 90 days.
If your application is denied, your organization will need to wait one (1) year to reapply. Subsequent requests received prior to one (1) year from the date of the initial denial will be responded to with a letter stating that your organization must wait one (1) year from the date of the initial denial to reapply.
