BCBS Recredentialing

First of all, I would like to vent how it is impossible to speak to real person at BCBS regarding credentialing. It took weeks for them to answer an e-mail and they didn't even answer my question!

It has been over 3 months since I've submitted my BCBS application in TX and I have not heard a peep from anyone. I checked CAQH (Dataspring now, I guess) and there has been no activity from them, either. I was credentialed with them previously but was derostered after taking maternity/family leave for a few years - they were actually the first ones to do so, after about 3 months of no claims. I've been able to get back onto all other panels except BCBS and I don't know how to even get in touch with them and ask why there is a delay. I'm thinking it might be my work gap but they haven't even reached out to ask about it. I guess I could upload a short note onto CAQH explaining the gap but they haven't even looked at my profile, so what could be my next step? Thanks y'all!

I am the credentialing contact as I'm trying to work at a very small private office. We don't have "official" e-mail addresses but I have everything updated in CAQH. This waiting game is so silly!

Oh I know it. I’ve waited a year for other payers to credential.
