Get contracted and credentialed with the HealthPartners network
Want to be contracted and credentialed with HealthPartners?

Follow these four steps to join the HealthPartners network.

If you’re a health care practitioner or facility and would like to join our network, please complete the contracting application.

Once you’ve been offered a contract, or if you have or your organization already has a contract, you can begin the credentialing process.

We’ll email you a list of additional information to complete the process, including a W-9 and disclosure of ownership.

You’ll need a portal account to start seeing HealthPartners members. You can manage your data, verify member eligibility and benefits, and more.
