Maintain Physician Credentials. Improve speed to care delivery. Reduce denials.
Verifying the credentials of physicians and enrolling them with payers is critical to reducing out-of-network denials and hence healthcare systems need to ensure that their physicians are credentialed with the health plans. The documentation requirements and the process followed by different health plans vary. Therefore, you need an experienced provider credentialing team to support the process.
Our Credentialing process
- Application Evaluation: The process of understanding documentation requirements, compilation of the required information, and identifying exceptions.
- Primary Source Documentation: Verifying the details of the physician practitioner through multiple sources, often requiring access to a primary source verification engine.
- Outbound Call Center: Make calls to the physician’s office to obtain the missing documents and complete the application
- Compile the application: Capture data on payer specific formats, and provide the requisite attachments to file the application with the payer.
- Follow-up with payers: Follow-up on submitted credentialing requests.
- Maintenance of Provider Data: Update provider information as per policies and procedures, and CAHQ profile on a periodic basis in a shared storage/document management system.
