Contract Terminations

Magellan’s philosophy is to maintain a diverse, quality network of providers to meet the needs of our clients and members. In addition, we believe that providers should advocate on behalf of members in obtaining care and treatment for behavioral health and substance abuse disorders.

Network providers will not be terminated from Magellan networks for any of the following reasons:

  • Advocating on behalf of a member
  • Filing a complaint against Magellan
  • Appealing a decision of Magellan
  • Requesting a review of or challenging a termination decision of Magellan.

  • Failure to meet Magellan’s credentialing criteria
  • Provider-initiated termination
  • No current business need within the provider’s geographic area, subject to applicable state and federal law.
