Provider Engagement Specialists

The Provider Engagement Specialists are responsible for ongoing education and training with the SummaCare provider network. This includes in-office provider orientation, access and training to Plan Central, SummaCare's benefit-specific web portal, assistance with resolving complex claim issues, provider changes, researching and resolving provider contract issues and hosting provider seminars. Our goal is to build a lasting relationship between your office and SummaCare.

We encourage you to utilize your admin account to view eligibility, authorizations, benefits, claims, retrieve explanation of payments and to submit claims or corrected claims. Access is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

If you have not met with your assigned Provider Engagement Specialist or would like to schedule an in-office training or meeting to address any questions regarding the authorization process, claims issues, appeals, SummaCare products/benefits or Plan Central training, please contact the assigned Provider Engagement Specialist for your office.
