Provider Network Management Policies & Procedures

The Provider Network Management policy area establishes the standards and procedures that govern how Northpointe credentials, contracts with, and oversees its network of behavioral health providers. This includes initial credentialing and ongoing re-credentialing processes, contract development and management, and the maintenance of a network that meets the needs of the populations served across Northpointe's service region.

This area also addresses provider performance monitoring, network adequacy requirements, and the processes for addressing provider sanctions or terminations. Policies in this section ensure that Northpointe's provider network is composed of qualified, accountable, and culturally competent providers who deliver services consistent with Northpointe's quality and compliance standards.
