Before a provider or organization can bill an insurance company, the provider must first be credentialed by the insurance company. This can be a time-consuming process, and often takes up to six months to complete. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason for the lengthy process is the requirement for the submission of extensive background information. Depending on the circumstances, the clinic or organization for which the provider is working may also need to go through credentialing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tips for Speeding Up Provider Credentialing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Carefully fill application:<\/strong> A majority of provider credentialing applications have missing, outdated, or incomplete information, which can cause significant delays in credentialing. The most overlooked data are work history and current work status; malpractice insurance; hospital privileges; and attestations.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Start early:<\/strong> Although most insurance companies estimate 90 days\u2019 time required for the credentialing process it\u2019s no longer adequate. It is best to start your process 150 days in advance to allow for unforeseen delays and setbacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Up-to-date CAQH:<\/strong> Credentialing is generally more efficient for providers who regularly update and attest their information to the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH). Check your CAQH profile to ensure it has all the required information, attestations, signatures, and documentation. Many commercial payers rely on CAQH to retrieve credentialing information. Incomplete profiles will slow down the application process.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>State\u2019s regulations:<\/strong> Providers should know their state\u2019s regulations regarding credentialing. Several states have reciprocity regulations, meaning if a physician is credentialed in one state by a payer, their credentialing in another state for that same payer can be streamlined. Additionally, a physician moving from one practice to another within the same state may not have to go through the full credentialing process again.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Track credentialing application:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t allow applications to fall behind. Ensure that everything moves as quickly as possible. Checking in with insurance companies about the status of each application until the application is complete means staying on top of the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Avoid common errors:<\/strong> In some cases, simple, preventable errors delay the credentialing process. Knowing the common mistakes can be very helpful in order to avoid them. Here are just some of the most frequent oversights and mistakes:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work history gaps without explanations<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Submitting an expired DEA license or number<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failure to provide a complete malpractice history<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional references are lacking<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forms not properly filled out<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data entry mistakes<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Our Credentialing Services<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provider credentialing requires updated knowledge of the payer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalbillersandcoders.com\/revenue-management-services.aspx?DivId=physician-credentialing\">credentialing process<\/a>, state regulations, error-free applications, updating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caqh.org\/\">CAQH<\/a>, gathering necessary documents, and tracking application status.
