Select which application type you need.
When a medical practitioner joins a HealthPartners-contracted clinic, the practitioner or clinic must submit a credentialing application in one of two ways: (1) through the ApplySmart™ system, or (2) through the HealthPartners provider portal.
Complete your application and submit it in one easy step using the ApplySmart system. All Minnesota-based medical clinics are required to use ApplySmart to submit initial credentialing applications. Clinics in other states may also use ApplySmart.

If you don’t submit your application through the ApplySmart system, you can submit it through the HealthPartners provider portal.
1. Download and fill out the proper application form:
- Medical and behavioral health: Minnesota Uniform Credentialing Application (PDF)
- Medication therapy management pharmacists: MTM Credentialing Application (PDF)
2. Submit your completed application through the HealthPartners provider portal.
3. You’ll get an email from HealthPartners once we’ve reviewed your application.
When a dental practitioner joins a HealthPartners-contracted clinic, the practitioner or clinic must submit a credentialing application.
1. Download the application form and fill it out.
2. Submit your completed application through the HealthPartners provider portal.
3. You’ll get an email from HealthPartners once we’ve reviewed your application.
We recommend that you submit an application at least 90 days prior to employment date. Until the credentialing or enrolling process is completed and the application is approved, practitioners may not see HealthPartners members and will not appear in directories or Member Services resources.
Use the Provider Data Profiles application to make additions and changes, and to create a shareable PDF:
- Medical, behavioral health and MTM practitioners should submit the Minnesota Uniform Practitioner Change form (PDF) with the Site Location Addendum page.
- Dental providers should complete the Dental Contracted Provider Change Notice (PDF)
Use the Add Practitioner search in the Provider Data Profiles application to find or enroll practitioners.
If they’re not in the Provider Data Profiles, use the Minnesota Uniform Practitioner Change form (PDF), with the Site Location Addendum page if applicable, and fax it to 952-883-5160 or email it to ProviderData@HealthPartners.com.
The process can vary depending on whether the application is complete, whether we need more information from the practitioner and whether the practitioner meets all the HealthPartners credentialing criteria.
We’ll notify practitioners in writing once their application has been approved. You can check if a practitioner has been approved:
- Practitioners that are current with credentialing – sign in to the Provider Data Profiles application
- To check the status of initial applications – see the Initial Credentialing application
To maintain compliance with the HealthPartners network and credentialing requirements, all enrolled and credentialed providers must notify us whenever a practitioner leaves a contracted clinic.
