Everything You Need to Know About Magellan Health Enrollment
Magellan Health specializes in behavioral health, specialty health, and pharmacy management. We handle the full credentialing process to get you into their network.
What Is Magellan Health Credentialing?
Magellan Health credentialing verifies that healthcare providers — particularly behavioral health, EAP, and specialty providers — meet Magellan's professional and quality standards before joining their network. Providers submit documentation including licensure, education, malpractice coverage, and work history, typically through CAQH ProView. Magellan conducts primary source verification and reviews applications against their network criteria before granting participation.
How Long Does It Take?
Magellan credentialing typically takes 60–90 days depending on documentation completeness and provider type. Behavioral health providers may have additional specialty-specific requirements. We submit applications as quickly as possible and follow up proactively with Magellan to push for timely processing. Our experience with behavioral health credentialing helps us anticipate and address requirements before they become delays.
CAQH ProView & Behavioral Health Focus
Magellan uses CAQH ProView for credential collection and verification. As a behavioral health-focused managed care company, Magellan may have specialty-specific requirements beyond standard credentialing — including verification of clinical supervision hours, specialty certifications, and behavioral health-specific training. We ensure your CAQH profile and supplemental documentation address all of Magellan's behavioral health network requirements.
Network Participation & Contracting
Once credentialed, providers sign a participation agreement with Magellan and are added to their provider network. Magellan manages behavioral health benefits for numerous health plans and employers nationwide, so joining their network can open access to a large patient base. We support you through the contracting process, ensuring terms are understood and the agreement is fully executed.
