Provider Network Management and Credentialing

The contract requires the maintenance of a comprehensive dental provider network across the state of California, adhering strictly to NCQA credentialing standards to ensure quality and compliance. A core obligation is guaranteeing at least two in-network dental providers within a ten-mile radius of each California State University campus, ensuring accessible care for students, faculty, and staff. The subcontract is issued by the California State University Office of the Chancellor and is open for response until July 10, 2026, with an emphasis on efficient network management and consistent provider availability. The NAICS code 621399 indicates the scope aligns with other miscellaneous ambulatory health care services, reinforcing the focus on outpatient dental care coordination. All credentialing and network operations must be conducted in full compliance with national benchmarks without specified set-asides or geographic restrictions beyond the CSU campus proximity requirement.
