IPN will continue to handle credentialing applications for new providers, as well as recredentialing and demographic updates for existing providers, submitted on or before June 30, 2022. Such information will be reported to all payors found on the IPN Client List. Credentialing and recredentialing applications, as well as other demographic changes, submitted on July 1, 2022 or later, will only be used for participation with PacificSource Health Plans.

This means providers should continue to report all adds, changes and terminations to IPN and complete any other documentation, including recredentialing requests, sent by IPN or IPN payors. Failure to report updates and/or complete such documentation may result in termination from the network and participation with payors.

NOTE: Separate contracting, credentialing, recredentialing and/or other demographic documentation may be required by payors in order to support any direct agreement. This includes, but is not limited to Cigna, CorVel, Health Net Federal Services, PacificSource Health Plans and Moda.
