Faster Medicaid credentialing for providers

Beginning July 1, 2026, the state must decide Medicaid provider enrollment within five business days after it gets a complete application. If something is missing, you get an electronic notice within two business days and a secure link to upload it. The enrollment agent allows multiple logins, holds NCQA accreditation, and reports failures to the department for quarterly audits. Medicaid managed care plans must finish credentialing within 60 days of a clean, complete application, with one 30‑day extension allowed only with written justification. Plans that miss deadlines face penalties such as corrective action, fines, or credentialing by default; by July 1, 2026 the CAQH electronic form is the standard that plans must use without extra paperwork, and the old credentialing statute (§16‑1A‑1 to §16‑1A‑10) is repealed.
