New BCBSOK Provider Contracting Information Available on Website

Beginning April 1, 2015, physicians and other health care professionals interested in contracting with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma (BCBSOK) should begin using the new, “How to Join the BCBSOK Provider Networks” menu option located under the Provider section of our website. This menu option will provide additional information about BCBSOK contract requests and submission requirements. Contract requests and submission requirements should not be sent directly to your assigned Provider Network Representative unless otherwise directed.

This new process applies to any professional provider requesting to be a contracted for the first time. If you are currently contracted for any of our networks and need to request additional network participation, please contact your Provider Network Representative.

All new professional providers must follow this new process even if the provider is joining an existing group or clinic that is currently participating in our networks. After the contract packet information is reviewed, you will receive a letter advising you of our decision to extend the contracting process. If the provider’s credentialing application is approved, contracts will be sent at that time.

If you have any questions or need further information about this process, please contact your Provider Network Representative.
