From: jason.hughes@amerigroup.com  To: mk@claimsmedinc.com  Provider was assigned a provision / in-network effective date while credentialing is pending approval.     If a provider is joining a group with an executed contract, Provisional Status allows for providers to bill as an in-network provider while the credentialing process is going on at the same time.  This allows providers to see members as in-network and be paid for services rendered.  Provisional effective dates are determined normally by the day we get the request.     Provisional effective dates can be issued contingent upon:     **Provider having an active TPI with TMHP  **Valid State license #
