Practicing El Paso physicians
Distance is the Operative Fact out here
Far East county communities like Butterfield sit a long way from the concentration of physicians in central El Paso. Routine care that would be a ten-minute errand in the city becomes a planned trip, which means the practices closest to these communities carry more weight than their size suggests.
That raises the stakes on plan participation. When a practice a few miles away does not take a patient’s coverage, the alternative is not a different nearby office; it is a drive across the county. Visits get postponed, and conditions that should have been routine stop being routine.
EPMN keeps broad participation achievable for small offices. One verified file through an NCQA Certified Credentialing Verification Organization opens the agreements EPMN holds, each one opt-in, with no requirement to take all of them. Credentialing 101 explains what verification actually involves.
Practicing at Distance from the City
Participation equals access
In an area this far out, the plans a practice takes determine which residents can realistically get care without a long drive.
Everything by phone and mail
Applications, questions, and follow-ups are handled remotely. Joining or maintaining membership requires no trip into the city.
Renewals tracked for you
Re-credentialing, Medicaid revalidation, and attestation deadlines are monitored centrally, which is where remote offices most often lose ground.

Questions from Butterfield practices
Is a community this small still covered?
Yes. EPMN’s service area is El Paso County as a whole, including its smallest and most remote communities. Size does not affect membership terms.
Can we handle everything without coming into El Paso?
Yes. Everything moves by mail, email, fax, and telephone. Our George Dieter office is available if you want to meet in person, but it is optional.
Which plans should a practice out here participate in?
Usually, broadly, because each plan you decline represents residents who have no nearby alternative. It is worth reviewing your actual panel with our staff before deciding.
Do you enroll new providers as well as existing ones?
Yes. Adding a provider to a member practice is routine, billed per provider, and covers both credentialing and government program enrollment.
Are there extra fees for a remote location?
No. Dues and fees are the same throughout El Paso County.
