Credentialing is one of the most overlooked yet most critical steps in healthcare operations. Without proper credentialing, even perfectly submitted claims can be denied or delayed indefinitely.
For many providers, credentialing is confusing, time-consuming, and frustrating. That’s because payer rules are constantly changing.
What Medical Credentialing Really Means
Medical credentialing is the process of enrolling providers with:
Medicare
Medicaid
Commercial PPO insurance plans
It verifies that providers meet payer standards and are eligible to bill for services.
Common Credentialing Mistakes
Practices often face problems due to:
Incomplete CAQH profiles
Missed revalidation deadlines
Incorrect provider information
Delayed follow-ups with payers
These issues can result in months of lost revenue.
