Join a pediatric network built for providers

ChildNet supports physicians and practices with contracting, credentialing, health-plan coordination, and a shared network of pediatric expertise.

Con­tract­ed Net­work Providers

ChildNet’s Net­work Par­tic­i­pa­tion Agree­ment (NPA) gives mem­bers access to par­tic­i­pat­ing health plans and pay­ors, along with sup­port ser­vices such as group purchasing.

To request mem­ber­ship as a Net­work Provider, com­plete the Net­work Provider Request Form and return it to Child­Net. Your request will be reviewed by the Child­Net Board of Directors.
