Credentialing and Contract Initiation

Summit Pointe strives to ensure a comprehensive Provider Network is available for our customers when choosing resources for service provisions identified within their individualized plan of service. These resources must meet the qualifications and service standards outlined in the Medicaid Manual under Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disability Supports and Services. External providers will be required to maintain compliance with Medicaid, MDHHS, and Summit Pointe standards and guidelines for all service provisions under the contract, including provider qualifications.

Summit Pointe participates in the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), Community Mental Health Service Provider (CMHSP) Credentialing program, commonly called  “Universal Credentialing.”

Summit Pointe has a Credentialing Committee whose role is to review the Universal Credentialing Profile and make final recommendations and approval regarding credentialing and re-credentialing decisions for inclusion of providers within the Summit Pointe Provider Network.

Additional information around Summit Pointe’s process for Credentialing/Re-Credentialing can be found under Policies and Procedures.
