The VA Community Care Network lets veterans see community providers when the VA cannot provide the care directly.
The VA does not credential community providers itself. It contracts regional administrators, currently Optum and TriWest, and which one applies depends on your state.
White Glove Credentialing is an independent company. We are not VA Community Care Network, CAQH or CMS; we prepare and file your application with them. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by VA Community Care Network.
The right VA Community Care Network application
The VA does not credential community providers itself. It contracts regional administrators, currently Optum and TriWest, and which one applies depends on your state.
CAQH profile ready
We check your CAQH ProView profile is complete, attested and authorized before we file, so your file is not paused waiting on you.
Follow-up until it decides
We follow up by phone and portal and confirm your VA Community Care Network effective date in writing.
Which administrator covers your state?
The Community Care Network is divided into regions, and each region has a contracted administrator that credentials providers and builds the network. Applying to the wrong administrator is a common mistake. We confirm your region before filing.
What the network expects
Administrators check your NPI, license, malpractice coverage and, for many provider types, Medicare enrollment. Keeping your NPPES, CAQH and PECOS data consistent matters here.
What stalls VA Community Care Network applications?
Most delays are small: a license or malpractice date that does not match across CAQH, NPPES and the application, an attestation that has lapsed, or a missing authorization. We check these before filing and watch for them while the application is open.
The other common delay is the wait between approval and a loaded contract. Being approved is not the same as having an effective date, so we follow up until you have one in writing.
We handle the paperwork. You see patients.
Application assembly, primary source verification, payer follow-ups, and status tracking — concierge credentialing with nothing left to chase.

VA Community Care Network — Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be Medicare-enrolled for the VA network?
+
Often, yes, depending on your provider type. We check what applies to your license in the free consultation.
Is this the same as TRICARE?
+
No. TRICARE is the military health program with its own contractors. Many providers who serve veterans also want TRICARE, and we can file both.
What does VA Community Care Network enrollment cost with White Glove?
+
$349 per payer, plus $499 onboarding per provider, once. After go-live, an optional $50-per-month upkeep subscription (not required to get enrolled) keeps CAQH, rosters and expirables current. Your first consultation is free.
Are you affiliated with VA Community Care Network?
+
No. We are an independent company that prepares and files your application. VA Community Care Network makes its own credentialing and contracting decision.
