Physician Assistant credentialing & payer enrollment in Wyoming
A Wyoming license lets you practice; credentialing lets you get paid. Before a health plan will reimburse you, it verifies your license, training, and history. Here's what that usually involves:
- 01Keep your NPI record (NPPES) current — your name, practice address, and taxonomy code should match your Wyoming license exactly.
- 02Complete your CAQH ProView profile: upload your Wyoming license and other documents, attest, and authorize each plan to view it. Re-attest every 120 days.
- 03Apply to each commercial health plan you want to join in Wyoming. Each runs its own credentialing review using your CAQH data.
- 04If you'll see Medicaid patients, enroll with Wyoming Medicaid (and any Medicaid managed-care plans you'll work with).
- 05If you'll bill Medicare, enroll through PECOS.
- 06If you'll work in a hospital or surgery center, apply for privileges there — each facility credentials you separately.
