Credentialing and Payer Enrollment Support for Healthcare Providers and Organizations

Healthcare providers and organizations may need to complete credentialing and payer enrollment requirements before participating with insurance networks or applicable healthcare programs.
Intelix Credentialing provides administrative support for medical credentialing and insurance payer enrollment. We help providers and healthcare organizations organize required information, prepare applicable applications, coordinate supporting documentation, and follow up throughout the enrollment process.

Understanding Credentialing

What Is Medical
Credentialing?

Medical credentialing is the process used by health plans and healthcare organizations to evaluate and verify a healthcare provider's professional qualifications and background. Depending on the provider and organization, information reviewed may include professional licenses, education and training, board certification when applicable, professional history, National Provider Identifier information, professional liability coverage, practice information, affiliations, and applicable disclosure information.

Credentialing requirements vary among payers, healthcare organizations, provider types, and programs.
