Provider Contracting & Credentialing

Request a Contract with MyAdvocate

Step 1: Complete our Contract Request Form

A member of our Contracting team will contact you once the Contract Request Form  has been reviewed. We respond to all contract requests, but we do not guarantee that a contract offer will be extended. If it is determined that your practice meets our network inclusion criteria, you will be invited to proceed with the steps outlined below in Step 2. 

Step 2: Provider Credentialing

Eligible providers will need to complete our credentialing process prior to receiving a contract offer for MyAdvocate. There are two options for plan credentialing:

Midlands Choice – Providers already credentialed with Midlands Choice will have that serve as their credentialing for MyAdvocate. Once we receive verification of credentialing from Midlands Choice, a contract will be sent to you, and no additional information is needed.

Sanford Health Plan – Providers who are not credentialed with Midlands Choice will be asked to credential with Sanford Health Plan. If you are already credentialed with Sanford Health Plan, no additional action will be required. If credentialing is needed, the Contracting representative will send you the required forms needed to begin the Sanford Health Plan credentialing process.

Successful credentialing is required prior to rendering care to MyAdvocate members. Please note only individual providers and facilities are required to complete credentialing. We do not credential professional groups at the group level.
