How Our Credentialing Process Works
We’ve refined our provider credentialing process over two decades to minimize delays and maximize approvals. Here’s what you can expect when you work with us:
Step 1: Initial Application & NPI Registration
We start by obtaining your providers’ National Provider Identifier (NPI) numbers and Tax IDs. This is the foundation of all credentialing — without an NPI, your providers cannot bill Medicare, Medicaid, or commercial insurance. We handle the entire application process to ensure accuracy and speed.
Step 2: CAQH Enrollment & Profile Management
We enroll your providers in CAQH (Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare) and maintain their profiles. Many insurance companies use CAQH as their primary credentialing database, so keeping this information current is critical. We handle all CAQH reattestation requirements to avoid lapses in coverage.
Step 3: Insurance Contracting & Payer Enrollment
Our team submits credentialing applications to insurance payers on your behalf and negotiates favorable contract terms. We work with major commercial payers, Medicare, and Medicaid to ensure your providers are enrolled and eligible to bill. This is where many practices lose revenue — and our expertise ensures you don’t.
Step 4: State License Verification & Renewals
We monitor your providers’ state medical licenses and ensure renewals are completed on time. A lapsed license can stop your providers from seeing patients and billing insurance — so we track every deadline and handle the paperwork for you.
Step 5: Ongoing Monitoring & Revalidation
Credentialing isn’t a one-time event. We provide ongoing monitoring and revalidation services to ensure your providers maintain active status with all payers. When it’s time for recredentialing, we handle the entire process — just like we do with our revalidation and recredentialing services.
