Our Process
Application Submission
The medical practice initiates the credentialing process by submitting credentialing applications to insurance companies and healthcare organizations where the providers intend to practice. These applications typically include provider information, education, training, licensure, certification, and practice history.
Verification and Review
The credentialing entity verifies the accuracy and completeness of the information provided in the credentialing applications. This process involves verifying provider credentials, such as licenses, certifications, education, training, work history, malpractice history, and professional references. Credentialing organizations may also conduct primary source verification to ensure the authenticity of credentials.
Committee Review and Decision
Credentialing committees or credentialing boards review the verified information and make credentialing decisions based on established criteria and standards. This review process may include evaluating the provider’s qualifications, competence, ethical conduct, and adherence to professional standards. If the provider meets the credentialing requirements, the credentialing committee approves the provider’s credentialing application.
Contracting and Enrollment
After successful credentialing, the medical practice enters into contracts or participation agreements with the insurance companies or healthcare organizations. These contracts define the terms of participation, reimbursement rates, and contractual obligations. Once contracts are finalized, providers are enrolled in the insurance plans or networks, allowing them to bill for services rendered to patients covered by those plans.
