Completing the Application

Wellmark accepts participation applications you previously completed for other insurers as long as:

  • The information provided is current within the last 30 days, and
  • The provider has re-signed the certification and release statement.

Missing information will slow the application process, so please:

  • Read the application thoroughly and complete all questions.
  • Include your National Provider Identifier (NPI).
  • Complete all non-applicable using an "N/A" or other appropriate indicator.
  • Verify the application is signed and include all requested document copies.

Step 5) Wellmark has two practitioner applications. Below is a chart briefly describing each application’s use. Read options (a) through (e) to identify which application best matches your situation.
