Everything You Need to Know About Carelon Enrollment
Carelon Health (formerly Beacon Health Options) manages behavioral health benefits for major plans. We handle the credentialing process to get you into their network.
What Is Carelon Health Credentialing?
Carelon Health (formerly Beacon Health Options, part of Elevance Health/Anthem) credentialing verifies behavioral health providers meet professional standards before joining their managed behavioral health network. Carelon manages behavioral health benefits for Anthem BCBS and other health plans. Providers submit credentials through CAQH ProView, and Carelon conducts primary source verification against their network standards.
How Long Does It Take?
Carelon credentialing typically takes 60–90 days depending on documentation completeness. Behavioral health providers may have additional specialty requirements including supervision documentation and specialty certifications. We submit applications quickly and follow up proactively to push for timely processing.
CAQH ProView & Specialty Requirements
Carelon uses CAQH ProView for credential collection. As a behavioral health-focused company, they may require additional documentation beyond standard credentialing — including clinical supervision hours, specialty certifications, and behavioral health training verification. We ensure your application addresses all Carelon-specific requirements.
Anthem BCBS Integration
Carelon is part of the Elevance Health family (parent of Anthem BCBS). Joining the Carelon behavioral health network can provide access to Anthem BCBS behavioral health members across multiple states. We coordinate your Carelon credentialing alongside any Anthem/BCBS applications for maximum network reach.
