New to Premera?
Step 1. Qualifications
Providers in Washington state with an approved specialty can qualify for Premera contracts. Out-of-state provider contracts are limited—view our FAQ for more details.
Step 2. Credentialing
Before requesting a contract with Premera, you must complete credentialing. This includes a background check to verify your professional details through a detailed, NCQA-compliant application process.
Step 3. Contracting
Once credentialing is complete, you can sign an individual provider contract or join a contracted independent practice association (IPA) or medical group.
All providers in a new group must be credentialed individually before the group can request a contract.
