Provider Enrollment/Credentialing Contracting

To enroll as a network provider with Horizon NJ Health, as a dental health carepProfessional you will need:

To contact SKYGEN USA to request an application for participation with Horizon NJ Health.

Credentialing

Dental health care providers are required to create an application at https://proview.caqh.org If you have any questions about credentialing please call 1-855-812-9211 or email credentialing@skygenusa.com for assistance.

  • CAQH Application must be less than 180 days old
  • FQHC Credentialing Checklist
    • The credentialing checklist is considered complete without a DEA, CDS, and New Jersey Medicaid ID.
      • These documents will still be required after approval.
  • If the application is incomplete, SKYGEN USA will make 3 weekly outreach attempts, within 90 days. The application status remains as pending during this time. If missing information is not received then the application will be withdrawn.
  • If the dental healthcare provider has sanctions on their licenses, certificates or professional liability cases, the provider cannot treat Horizon NJ Members until the credentialing committee reviews and approves the application for participation.
  • Once a clean application is deemed complete, the provider will be issued an FQHC Application Completion Notification Letter, with the application completion date. The effective date of the provider will be the approval date of the Horizon NJ Health Dental Credentialing Committee. The FQHC Application Completion Notification Letter will enable the provider to provide treatment and submit any claims for services that are rendered prior to the provider’s completion of credentialing.
    Upon acceptance, the provider will be notified of the credentialing committee’s decision and if approved be added to the Horizon NJ Health Provider Network.

Claim Submissions

Claim Filing Deadlines

Horizon NJ Health must receive all claims within 180 calendar days from the initial date when services were rendered. If claims are not received within 180 calendar days from the initial date of service, claims will be denied for untimely filing.

Procedures for Claim Submission

National Practitioner Identifier (NPI)

Horizon NJ Health requires all practitioners use their NPI numbers for all claim submissions. To ensure our systems properly identify you as an individual, group or facility, Horizon NJ Health requires you register the NPI with your taxonomy and tax identification numbers. Another requirement that will affect both timeliness and payment is the use of name differential on your W-9. Horizon

NJ Health continues to accept the use of your provider identification numbers (legacy ID). The continued use of the legacy ID is recommended, as the claims processing system uses this number for adjudication and payment activities. Please make sure your name matches the name used on your W-9.
