An Open Network Approach

Partners believes an open provider network ensures choice and access for members in the county. Though LME/MCOs are permitted to have closed networks, Partners has never limited provider enrollment in that way. We welcome all providers who meet state qualifications and will not limit entry to the network based on size of the providers or the continuum of services offered.

To ensure continuity of care, providers can begin the process of joining the Partners Provider Network now.

Providers who want to join the Partners network may begin the credentialing process by completing the online Request for Consideration Form (Word doc). You may begin this process regardless of your inclusion in the Cardinal network.

If you are currently in-network with Partners, use the Provider Change Form to add all sites/services/clinicians serving members in Cabarrus, Union, Stanly and Forsyth counties.

Learn more about Partners’ Provider Credentialing and Enrollment at https://providers.partnersbhm.org/provider-enrollment-credentialing/.

Also see our Guide to Transitioning to AlphaMCS

Partners has just received permission from the state to enroll and contract with realigning providers prior to completing the credentialing process. For that reason, we are currently in the process of enrolling prioritized providers. You should expect to receive a contract from us this week if you have active authorizations and/or claims for members from Cabarrus, Stanly or Union county. Providers who are not currently/actively serving members from Cabarrus, Stanly and Union counties will be processed through credentialing and enrolled after the prioritized providers are finalized. If you are currently/actively serving a member from one of these aligning counties, then please let us know right away so that we can finalize your enrollment.

You can reach us at credentialingteam@partnersbhm.org or you may contact the Provider Network Helpdesk at pas@partnersbhm.org.
