OB-GYN credentialing in Indiana involves coordination with hospital credentialing bodies at major maternity programs including Indiana University Health, Community Health Network, and Franciscan Health. Indiana Medicaid managed care covers a significant proportion of Indiana births, making MCO enrollment with Anthem, MDwise, and MHS essential for obstetric practices. Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Indiana and Cigna conduct thorough malpractice history reviews for all obstetric providers. ABOG board certification is required by all commercial payers. Indiana's rural maternity deserts, particularly in southern Indiana counties, have prompted state investment in maternal health access, creating payer network expansion opportunities for OB-GYN providers in underserved areas. Maternal mortality awareness has elevated scrutiny of obstetric credentialing documentation statewide. Arctic Health coordinates hospital privileging and Indiana Medicaid MCO enrollment simultaneously for Indiana OB-GYN providers.
