Our Process

1

Application Submission

We initiate the process by submitting credentialing applications to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) or the respective state Medicaid agency, depending on the program. These applications entail provider information, education, training, licensure, certification, and practice history, tailored to meet the specific requirements of Medicare and Medicaid.

2

Verification and Review

The credentialing entity, such as CMS or the state Medicaid agency, conducts thorough verification and review of the information provided in the credentialing applications. This process involves verifying provider credentials, including licenses, certifications, education, training, work history, malpractice history, and professional references. Primary source verification is often employed to ensure the authenticity of credentials.

3

Committee Review and Decision

Credentialing committees or boards within CMS or the state Medicaid agency review the verified information and make credentialing decisions based on established criteria and standards set forth by the respective program. This review process includes evaluating the provider’s qualifications, competence, ethical conduct, and adherence to program requirements. If the provider meets the credentialing requirements, the committee approves the provider’s credentialing application for Medicare or Medicaid participation.

4

Contracting and Enrollment

Upon successful credentialing, the medical practice may enter into agreements with CMS or the state Medicaid agency to participate in the Medicare or Medicaid programs. These agreements outline the terms of participation, reimbursement rates, and contractual obligations specific to Medicare or Medicaid. Once agreements are finalized, providers are enrolled in the respective programs, allowing them to provide covered services to eligible beneficiaries.
