Insurance Credentialing/Contracting

For those who have ever moved states, did you have to start over with insurance carriers' credentialing/contracting process (90-120 days)? Is a state license in the new state required, or is there any way to begin the process with your current license if you can provide the location of the intended practice? Trying to estimate how long in advance might be necessary for this whole process. Thanks!
