CREDENTIALING | The Process

Women analyzing data

STEP 1 : WE MEET

  • Together we determine the overall goals of your providers, clinic, hospital or health system.

  • Gather a list of all payers for which you participate (or want to participate).

  • Discuss and agree on realistic deadline, billing start dates and when to hold claims (if applicable).

  • We'll give you a quick overview on all the data and documents we'll need and how we'll gather it.

​

STEP 2 : DATA AND DOCUMENT COLLECTION​

  • The Project Management Portal is established and shared with the Practice Administrator.

  • We'll collect all required data and documents (mostly through the Portal) with the help of the Practice Administrator.

​

STEP 3 : CMS & CAQH ENROLLMENT / UPDATES

  • We go to work on NPPES and CAQH updates. This is the baseline                                                     of Provider Enrollment as nearly all payers utilize these platforms.

  • Medicare and Medicaid enrollment comes next.

​

STEP 4 : COMMERCIAL ENROLLMENT & CONTRACTING

  • Commercial enrollment and contracting comes next.

  • IMPORTANT: Commercial plans do NOT back date!

​

STEP 5 : MORE UPDATES & MCO

  • Once Medicare and Medicaid are approved, CAQH is updated with relavent payer information.

  • Enrollment with MCO(s) begin.

​

STEP 6 : FOLLOW UP & MAINTENANCE KICK-OFF

  • As payers process applications and approvals are received, we keep the Portal updated with all important communication and documents. We will also assign tasks to the Practice Administrator as necessary.

  • You sit back while we make sure everything stays current!
