Physicians and other health care professionals can apply for credentialing using the South Carolina Uniform Credentialing Application, which covers Preferred Blue®, the State Health Plan and the Dental Network. For more information on joining our networks, fill out and submit our Contract Request form.
If it's time for you to be recredentialed, please visit the Credentials Update Package page of our Web site.
Credentialing for mental health practitioners is coordinated through Companion Benefit Alternatives, Inc (CBA), and covers the networks for the CBA, Preferred Blue and BlueChoice® HealthPlan plans. On behalf of BlueCross, CBA administers mental health and substance abuse benefits. CBA is a separate company. To join the CBA network, visit the Join Our Mental Health Network page of our Web site. The State Health Plan uses another non-BlueCross benefits company to administer its mental health benefits.
Please note: Effective 01/01/2012, the State Health Plan provides Mental Health and Substance Abuse coverage through CBA.
BlueChoice HealthPlan is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.
