Contracting for behavioral health or substance use disorder providers

If you are a behavioral health or substance use disorder provider, please complete the behavioral health contract request form (PDF).

Do not see Blue Cross members until you receive an executed (signed by Blue Cross) contract or amendment. Any claims submitted prior to that time will either be denied or processed as out of network.

Five or fewer practitioners: When requesting a contract, please submit the MN Uniform Practitioner Change form (PDF) for each practitioner.

Six or more practitioners: If six or more need to be affiliated with the new location or contract, please fill out the Multiple practitioner add sheet (xlsx).
