Received the following email from Cigna/ Evernorth.  Dear Helena Halterman,  Thank you for completing your credentialing packet through DocuSign. Our next step in the credentialing process is to verify your credentials. Please note that this may take up to 90 days, depending on the response time of the institutions we contact for this purpose.  While we are verifying your credentials, you may be considered a non-participating provider. Please note that you may be considered a participating provider for customers who have coverage through a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), which includes an employee assistance program (EAP) (as long as you are eligible to provide these services). To verify a customer’s benefits and eligibility, call the number on the back of their ID card.  No further action is needed from you at this time. Should we need additional information, we will contact you by means listed on your Evernorth Behavioral Provider Application.  Once we verify your credentials, we will send an email, which will include a copy of your final agreement. The subject line of this email will begin with “Status Update: Completed.” The agreement will include Evernorth's countersignature and your effective date as an Evernorth Behavioral Health contracted provider.  Thank you for applying to participate in the Evernorth Behavioral Health network. We look forward to working with you and helping you realize your professional goals.  Sincerely,  +  Kristen McCanlies  Provider Relations Associate Analyst, Behavioral Health  O: 903.337.2488  F: 860.687.7181  EVERNORTH.COM
