All Providers are required to submit an application and provide qualifications and credentials verification in order to obtain a Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi (BCBSMS) Provider Number and/or apply for Provider Network participation. A Provider Number is required before claims can be submitted. Claims received without an approved Provider Number will not be accepted. Network Benefits will only be provided after Network Provider participation has been approved.
Current BCBSMS and/or Advanced Health Systems (AHS) Network Providers must log in to their myBlue Provider account for information updates, changes or re-credentialing.
If you are a Mississippi Department of Mental Health Certified Provider seeking to become a Network Provider with the BCBSMS and/or AHS Networks, please call 601-664-4618 for assistance. Do not attempt to complete your application online.
BCBSMS partners with the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH) for primary source verification of provider information and credentials, including evidence of licensure, experience and other qualifications. A CAQH ProView® Profile is required.
Before beginning the Provider Application Process, select your Provider Type from the dropdown list below to view the applicable Provider checklist. It is important to ensure all the criteria is met and your CAQH ProView® Profile is up to date. The amount of time to process your application depends on the completeness of your information.
