Once a practitioner has been submitted to CHN, how long does it take for s/he to become effective?
Practitioners must first be credentialed and approved by a participating CHN member organization. The practitioner must then be submitted to CHN for an additional review of qualifications. The entire process should take no longer than six months or 180 days, contingent on receiving complete information. The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) determined this time frame. Once approved by the CHN Credentialing Committee, practitioners become effective the 1st day of the following month.
