What to do

by Oct 26, 2026 · 5 steps
01Billing and administrative staff must transition all direct provider enrollment and credentialing submissions from email and paper forms to the new Provider Network Management Portal.
02Before launch, verify login credentials when Molina sends provider contact information.
03Update internal enrollment procedures and staff training to reflect portal-only submission requirements.
04Ensure providers understand that Availity continues to be used for claims, prior authorizations, and member panel management—this portal is for enrollment/credentialing only.

If missed: Failure to use the portal after the deadline may result in delayed or rejected enrollment applications.
