The Problem

Why Credentialing Delays Cost You Revenue

Every day your credentialing is incomplete is a day you cannot bill. Most agencies lose thousands of dollars waiting — HealthsDriven eliminates that wait.

60–120 Day Delays

Incomplete or incorrectly submitted applications are the #1 cause of credentialing delays — adding months to your enrollment timeline.

Lost Revenue

Every week without active enrollment means uncollected claims. Retroactive billing windows are limited — delays are costly and often irreversible.

Compliance Risk

Billing without active enrollment or with lapsed credentials exposes your agency to audits, recoupments, and potential exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid.

Re-Credentialing Lapses

Missed re-credentialing deadlines result in automatic payer disenrollment — stopping your billing without warning until the process is restarted.

Complex Paperwork

Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payer applications each require different forms, documentation sets, and submission portals — a full-time job on its own.

Provider Turnover Burden

Every time a provider joins or leaves, credentialing must be updated across all payers. Without a system, this becomes a constant administrative burden.

Our Process

How Our Credentialing Process Works

A transparent, step-by-step credentialing process that keeps you informed at every stage — from document collection to active enrollment.

Step 01

Discovery Call & Intake

We assess your agency type, provider roster, states of operation, and target payers to build a custom credentialing roadmap.

Step 02

Document Collection

We send a clear checklist of required documents — licenses, certifications, insurance, W-9, void check — and follow up until everything is received.

Step 03

Primary Source Verification

We verify all credentials directly with licensing boards, institutions, and databases — OIG checks, CAQH setup, and exclusion screenings included.

Step 04

Application Submission

We prepare and submit complete, error-free applications to all target payers simultaneously — Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial plans.

Step 05

Follow-Up & Status Monitoring

We proactively contact payers, respond to additional requests, and keep you updated with real-time status reports throughout the review period.

Step 06

Active Enrollment Confirmed

You receive your effective dates, provider numbers, and billing credentials — and we set up re-credentialing reminders so you never lapse again.

FAQ

Common Credentialing Questions

Answers to the questions healthcare providers ask us most about credentialing.

Medicare enrollment typically takes 60–90 days from submission to approval. Medicaid timelines vary by state — ranging from 30 to 120 days. Commercial insurance panels typically take 60–90 days. Our pre-submission review and proactive follow-up help minimize these timelines wherever possible.
CAQH (Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare) is a centralized database used by most commercial insurance payers to streamline provider credentialing. A complete, up-to-date CAQH profile is required by nearly all commercial payers. We create, complete, and attest your CAQH profile as part of our credentialing service.
Yes. We specialize in new provider enrollments. While some commercial payers may request a billing history, Medicare and Medicaid enroll new agencies regularly. We guide you through site surveys, accreditation requirements, and all documentation needed to get a new agency enrolled successfully.
We review the denial reason, gather any additional documentation required, and resubmit on your behalf. Our 98% first-pass approval rate means denials are rare — but when they occur, we handle the appeals process and payer communication to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Most payers require re-credentialing every 2–3 years. Medicare revalidation occurs on a rolling cycle determined by CMS, typically every 5 years. Provider license and liability insurance renewals often fall on annual or biennial cycles. We track all of these for you and initiate the renewal process well in advance of each deadline.
Yes. We work with single-provider practices, multi-provider groups, and multi-location agencies across multiple states. Our team manages roster credentialing — meaning we handle every provider in your group across every payer, keeping your entire roster current and compliant at all times.
