Names matter on an application. A plan is frequently listed under a brand name that differs from the contracting entity, and a rename or acquisition can leave both names circulating for years. Filing under the wrong one is a common cause of rejected or misrouted applications.

National carriers credential centrally, so one application generally covers every state you practice in. Network participation and fee schedules are still contracted separately by state and by line of business.
Coverage by state
Lines of business are contracted per state. Being credentialed for one line in one state does not carry over to another. Data as of July 28, 2026.

We name provider portals but do not link to payer websites — payer URLs move, and a stale link is worse than none. We verify current requirements directly with the payer at the start of every engagement.
