Candidates, associates, and pre-licensed/provisionally licensed therapists are welcome to accept TPN.match referrals under supervisory billing, provided all of the following criteria are met:
Graduate Degree Completed: The provider must have completed their graduate degree. Current students or student interns are ineligible to receive or accept TPN referrals.
Active Supervision: The provider must be under active supervision by a Board-Approved Supervisor.
Board Approval for Insurance Billing: The applicable state licensing board must permit candidate or associate level providers to bill insurance/third-party payers under supervision.
Individual TPN Account Linked to Group: The provider must hold an individual TPN account linked to their group practice using their own personal credentials. While supervisor information can be included during profile setup, the provider's own credentials must be entered first.
Postdocs or other providers without a provisional/candidate licensure are unable to submit an individual license and therefore unable to credential with TPN or see TPN referrals.
Valid Provisional/Candidate License: Postdocs or other pre-licensed providers without a formal provisional or candidate license cannot submit an individual license and are therefore ineligible for credentialing or referrals.
TPN.match Credentialing: The provider must successfully complete the credentialing process directly within TPN.match.
Strict Network Policy
If any of the above conditions are not met, the unlicensed or provisionally licensed provider is strictly prohibited from seeing TPN.match clients or submitting billing to TPN for services rendered.
