7 Must-Ask Questions For Credentialing & Enrollment Process

Healthcare credentialing is the process where medical organizations verify the credentials of healthcare providers to ensure they meet all requirements, including licensing, certifications, and skills to provide safe quality patient care.


It is a long, tedious process often involving time spent researching and staying on top of ever-changing rules and regulations. This is why many FQHC and CHC leaders outsource credentialing and enrollment services to experts who have extensive experience with these complex processes.


Our team of credentialing experts has compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions by FQHC and CHC leaders looking to outsource this hefty administrative burden.


Check out our short and sweet list of FAQs:


#1 How long does it take to get a provider enrolled with payors? 


90-120 days, varies, based on how quickly the provider turns over information, when the application is submitted, and the payor. Get PSV done at the same time and maximize efficiency!


#2 Do you provide re-credentialing services?


YES! Never worry about keeping track of which provider is up for re-credentialing. We make sure credentialing is done right and on time.


#3 Do you gather all provider information or do we have to?


We are happy to take on the burden of gathering information directly from the provider so you get more time back.


#4 When do you like to start the process for a new provider?


When you know you want to hire a provider—way before they come on board! Simply give us their personal email for a seamless onboarding process.


#5 How do you determine rates?


As a non-profit, we are committed to keeping our fees low. We understand there is turnover in the FQHC world so we offer monthly pricing based on the actual number of providers on your staff.
