Step 1: Enroll with the State

Providers must be enrolled with the Delaware Medical Assistance Program (DMAP) to be eligible to participate in our network. Providers not enrolled in DMAP will need to complete the MCO-only provider enrollment application before applying to Highmark Health Options. DMAP provides a new MCOP enrollment application guide to help providers complete the enrollment application.

Step 4: Begin Onboarding

New providers will receive an orientation letter from their dedicated provider account liaison (PAL). Your new PAL is your primary contact for Highmark Health Options. Your PAL is here to help facilitate any updates or escalate concerns in the communities you serve. They are responsible for gathering and sharing your input and feedback on strategic initiatives. And together, both you and your PAL can identify any issues you have and develop solutions to ensure you receive the necessary support and resources you need.
