how to join our network

Chiropractic Network of the Carolinas, Inc. (CNC) is headquartered just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, and stands alone as the oldest and largest chiropractic network in the Southeast.  Incorporated in 1996, CNC contracts with BlueCross BlueShield of NC, Cigna HealthCare of North and South Carolina, MedCost as well as many other payors and PPO's.  Joining our network can provide you with access to many of the 7,000,000 covered lives under contract through CNC's managed care partners.

We work to create a partnership environment between our network of chiropractors and the managed care companies and PPO's with whom we contract.  By providing services including network development, network management, credentialing, central claims administration, free electronic claims transmission, quality and utilization management, and free continuing education, we can maximize efficiency and provide real value for our providers as well as our managed care partners.  CNC is fully staffed by dedicated healthcare professionals, including Provider Representatives to assist you and your staff with any of your managed care issues.  CNC does not subcontract any of the administrative services we provide.

If you are interested in joining our network, please contact CNC at (877) 426-2411, extension 2, to request an application packet. 

As part of the application process, all providers must be credentialed by CNC per NCQA or URAC guidelines. The credentialing process takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks.

There is no initial fee to join our network.  CNC charges an administrative fee against the allowable amount shown on each member's EOB.  The allowable amount is defined as the amount that the payor intends the provider to collect for the service provided that is represented by a particular CPT code.   The allowable amount includes deductibles and co-payments that should be collected from the member.  

By using the allowable amount in computing the CNC administration fee, this assures that CNC will only receive the administrative fee for those services for which the provider is paid.

CNC encourages all participating providers to join the ACA and their respective state associations.  CNC believes strongly in the value of our state associations.  The NCCA and the SCCA work diligently on behalf of all chiropractors in your state, not just the members.  The state associations need your support!  Please consider joining today!  For more information on your state association, please visit their web sites:
