Children’s Health℠ Care Network

The Children’s Health Care Network fosters optimal health outcomes by providing cost-effective, patient-centered, high-quality care with an emphasis on service.

There is no cost to be a Children’s Health Care Network member. Any costs associated with achieving the required electronic health record interoperability are the responsibility of the practice.

Membership is open to practices and organizations that provide pediatric health services. Individual providers are not “members” of the network.

Member commitments are delineated in the Children’s Health Care Network contract, but some expectations of practitioners in a member practice include:

• Agree to data sharing through interoperability, which requires that the member establish direct messaging and that their electronic health record be a member of Carequality or CommonWell Alliance.

• Conduct their practice consistent with the high standards, quality, style and image of the Children’s Health Care Network.

• Participate in third-party payor and managed care contracts, with an opt-out option, if applicable.

• A physician or other provider must have a full, unlimited and unrestricted license to practice in Texas.

• Submit paperwork for license verification every two years, if requested.

• Submit completed enrollment form and subsequent updates at least once a year when requested.

• Notify Children’s Health Care Network staff of the addition or termination of any credentialed provider (M.D., D.O., PA, NP)

Children’s Health also operates as a member of Children’s Health Care Network through specialty, ancillary, tertiary and quaternary services.
