Become a Participating Provider

The Arizona Association of Health Plans (AzAHP) is the new credentialing alliance aimed at making the credentialing and recredentialing process easier by eliminating duplication of efforts and reducing administrative burden. The new credentialing process was launched on October 1, 2012. For the AzAHP communication to providers, CLICK HERE.

Below are the forms for both practitioner and organizational providers that will need to be completed and returned to us.

For your convenience, the forms can be completed online, saved and emailed to the Network email address or faxed to us. If you have any questions, please contact us.

CREDENTIALING

AzAHP uses the CAQH credentialing application for Practitioners. For first time users for the Quick Reference Guide, CLICK HERE.

All data submitted by providers through UPD is maintained by CAQH in a secure, state-of-the-art data center. Providers authorize health plans and other organizations access to the information. Providers needing more information about registering with the service or completing the UPD application should visit https://upd.caqh.org/oas/ or call the CAQH Provider Help Desk at (888) 599-1771.

AzAHP uses the OptumInsight credentialing application for Organizational providers.

AzAHP has contracted with OptumInsight Aperture Credentialing Organization as the Credentials Verification Organization (CVO). You will receive correspondence from Aperture/OptumInsight requesting that you complete or update a credentialing application and/or provide additional documentation in order to complete your application process. Likewise, if your application process includes CAQH, it will be imperative that you continue to update and re- attest to your information on a regular and timely basis.

Any requests from Aperture/OptumInsight are legitimate and vital to the timely completion of your initial credentialing or recredentialing event.

NOTE: Each participating plan retains the right to make their own contracting decisions (whether or not to add practitioners and facilities to their network) and will make their own credentialing committee decisions (review of the primary source verification information obtained by OptumInsight™ resulting in approval/denial by the plan's committee).
