Provider Credentialing and Enrollment
In many ways, provider credentialing and provider enrollment are two sides of the same coin. Both are vital processes that must be completed by a healthcare practice before a new physician can begin accepting patients at that practice – and both are processes that can often entail a lot of time and hassle.
What is Provider Credentialing?
Provider credentialing is the process of checking the credentials of a new provider before they are hired by a healthcare practice. While this process is typically performed by the healthcare practice that is bringing the new provider on-board, insurance payers require the same provider credentialing information as part of the provider enrollment process. CAQH is used for most of this information and it's of utmost importance to have all your provider information up to date and accurate. This prevents flags and delays in the credentialing process.
What is Provider Enrollment?
Closely related to the process of provider credentialing is the process of provider enrollment.
