DHS Supports MN Credentialing Collaborative Process

There are a number of incorrect messages in the marketing regarding DHS’s credentialing application process.

  • DHS is accepting electronic application submissions from the MCC.
  • There is not a need to complete DHS's paer application.
  • DHS is processing all applications in the order they are received - so there is not preferential treatment or handling of either MCC or DHS paper application


Clients with their applications loaded in the MCC tool are encouraged to simply submit their application to DHS in the same manner they submit to all other preferences.


DHS continues to move forward with the full integration of the MCC application process. If you have any questions or concerns about your DHS application or process, please do not hesitate to contact our help desk.
