OhioBWC - Basics: Provider categories for the Health Partnership Program (HPP)
Provider categories for the Health Partnership Program (HPP)
There are three categories of HPP providers.
BWC-certified provider – a credentialed provider that BWC has approved for participation in HPP and who signs the
BWC provider agreement.
MCO panel provider – a BWC-certified provider, who has agreed to become a member of an HPP-certified, managed care
organization (MCO) provider network (i.e., panel).
Non-BWC certified provider – a provider who is enrolled with BWC, but has not signed the BWC provider agreement and
has not been approved to participate in HPP.
Note: Pharmacy provider enrollment is a service provided by BWC’s
Pharmacy Benefits Manager (PBM). Pharmacy providers should contact the PBM to enroll.
