Everything You Need to Know About Lucet Enrollment
Lucet (formerly New Directions) manages behavioral health networks for health plans and employers. We handle your credentialing from start to network enrollment.
What Is Lucet Credentialing?
Lucet (formerly New Directions Behavioral Health) credentialing verifies that behavioral and mental health providers meet professional standards before joining their network. Lucet manages behavioral health benefits and provider networks for numerous health plans, employers, and managed care organizations. Providers submit credentials through CAQH ProView or Lucet's portal for primary source verification.
How Long Does It Take?
Lucet credentialing typically takes 60–90 days depending on documentation completeness and provider type. We submit applications quickly and follow up proactively. Our experience with behavioral health credentialing across multiple managed care companies helps us address specialty-specific requirements efficiently.
Credential Verification Process
Lucet verifies licensure, education, training, board certifications, malpractice coverage, and work history through primary source verification. For behavioral health providers, additional documentation such as clinical supervision hours and specialty certifications may be required. We ensure all documentation is complete and accurate before submission.
Network Access & Patient Referrals
Once credentialed with Lucet, you're listed in their provider network and can receive patient referrals from the health plans and employers Lucet serves. This can be a significant source of behavioral health patients. We ensure your network listing is accurate and your participation agreement is fully executed.
