Everything You Need to Know About VA Community Care Enrollment

VACCN credentialing ensures community providers meet professional standards before caring for Veterans. We handle the nationally accredited process end to end.

What Is VACCN Credentialing?

The VA Community Care Network (VACCN) credentialing process ensures that community healthcare providers meet professional, licensure, and quality standards before they can care for Veterans under the VA Community Care program. Providers must complete an application and submit required documents — such as active professional licenses, education and training verification, board certifications, work history, malpractice history, and other credentials — for primary-source verification using a nationally accredited process.

How Long Does It Take?

VACCN uses a nationally accredited credentialing process, and timelines vary by region and the specific VACCN contractor handling your application. Processing can take several weeks to several months depending on documentation completeness and regional workload. We submit applications as quickly as possible and follow up proactively with the VACCN contractor to push for timely processing.

Nationally Accredited Verification

VACCN credentialing is administered through regional VACCN contractors who use a nationally accredited verification process. This means your credentials are verified against the highest standards — confirming your qualifications and eligibility to join one of the regional VACCN networks managed by third-party administrators on behalf of the VA. We monitor the entire verification process to ensure nothing stalls.

VA Reimbursement Enrollment

Once credentialed and approved, providers are authorized to deliver care to Veterans and participate in the VA's community care reimbursement system. This means you can see Veterans referred by the VA for community care and bill for services through the VA's payment infrastructure. We ensure your enrollment in the reimbursement system is complete alongside your credentialing.
