Start here

For clinicians and practice administrators in New Jersey. First confirm the Blue Plan for your practice or claim-service location. Use the location used for billing, not your client’s home plan. If you need a new practice record, confirm the first-time registration process with the payer. The public resources below do not establish a complete application for every out-of-network practice.

Where are you in the process?

  • Starting for the first time or unsure? Check with the payer whether your practice already has a record under the same tax ID and service location, then follow the steps below for the record you need.
  • Adding a clinician to an existing practice? Ask the payer how to add the clinician, complete any required individual enrollment, and link them to the existing practice. Do not create a new practice just to add a clinician.
  • Already submitted, waiting for approval? Check your pending registration using the submission reference. Do not send a duplicate application unless the payer asks you to.
  • Practice and required clinician affiliations confirmed active? Notify Thrizer Support.

Before you start

Have your practice’s legal name, tax ID (EIN/TIN), service address, and each clinician’s rendering NPI and license information ready. Use details that match Thrizer. The practice coordinates registration; group clinicians do not need to create separate practices. The payer may require individual enrollment and group affiliations.

Review Horizon’s nonparticipating routes

Start with Horizon’s Creating and Updating Nonparticipating Provider Files guidance. It describes online and paper routes. Confirm the current first-time nonparticipating process for your practice before submitting.
2

Prepare the paper packet or confirm an online route

For the documented paper route, use the Nonparticipating Provider Demographic Form. Before mailing, confirm that Horizon accepts this form and verify the current mailing address. Complete the applicable practice and clinician information, confirm which attachments Horizon requires for your tax ID and provider type, and mail the completed packet to the current Provider Files address confirmed by Horizon. Keep a copy and proof of submission. Use an online route only after identifying the nonparticipating option; a “Join Our Networks” landing page does not identify it.Do not assume all fields or specialty requirements apply to every therapy practice. Ask Horizon to resolve conflicting W-9 instructions and any request for a Social Security number, extra attachments, or a network agreement before you submit sensitive information or sign.

Complete and submit the confirmed request

Once the payer confirms the right new-record, addition, or update process, complete and submit the application or request through that channel with the documents it requires for your practice. Ask the payer about unclear fields or attestations before submitting; do not guess.Keep a copy, the submission confirmation, and any case number. Then follow the pending-registration guidance until the payer confirms activation. A receipt does not mean your record is active.
4

Confirm activation, then notify Thrizer

Ask the payer to confirm that the practice record and all required clinician affiliations are active. Keep the approval confirmation and related documents; a submission receipt or portal login does not establish activation.Send the confirmation to Thrizer Support and review the next steps. Support identifies affected claims and reviews which are eligible for resubmission. Do not duplicate pending claims solely because registration became active.
For BCBS claims through Thrizer, any reimbursement goes to the client. If an application appears to require payment to your practice or assignment of the client’s reimbursement, ask the payer how to register for member reimbursement before continuing. Registration does not guarantee claim approval or reimbursement.

Need help with the next step?

If the payer has not confirmed activation, follow its status-check instructions. See what to do while registration is pending. Thrizer does not complete or track registration for your practice.
