Credentialing and Contracting Work Together

Physician credentialing typically evaluates applicable professional qualifications and provider information.

Depending on the payer, eligible physicians may then proceed through additional enrollment or contracting steps before network participation is finalized.

1. Provider Credentialing Applicable physician information and professional qualifications are reviewed.
2. Verification Applicable credentials and provider information may be verified through appropriate sources.
3. Enrollment & Contracting Applicable payer participation and administrative contracting requirements are addressed.
4. Network Participation Final payer processing establishes applicable provider participation and enrollment status.
When Credentialing Support Matters

Supporting Physicians Through Different Stages of Practice Growth

Credentialing requirements often arise when a physician, group, or practice changes how or where healthcare services are delivered.

Starting a New Practice

Organize provider information and begin applicable payer enrollment as a new practice prepares for insurance-based operations.

Joining a Medical Group

Coordinate provider and payer information when a physician joins a new practice or healthcare group.

Adding New Payer Networks

Support enrollment when physicians or practices pursue participation with additional healthcare payers.

Adding Physicians

Help coordinate credentialing and enrollment activities as practices recruit and onboard additional physicians.

Opening New Locations

Support applicable provider and payer updates associated with practice expansion.

Managing Recredentialing

Maintain current provider information and support recurring credentialing requirements.

Ongoing Credentialing

Credentialing Doesn't End After Initial Enrollment

Physician information changes over time. Licenses renew, professional information may change, payer records require updates, and organizations may request recredentialing or revalidation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Practical answers to common physician credentialing, payer enrollment, and practice-growth questions.

What is the difference between physician credentialing, payer enrollment, and contracting?
Credentialing generally focuses on reviewing and verifying a physician's professional qualifications. Payer enrollment involves the administrative process associated with participation with an applicable payer. Contracting generally relates to applicable network participation agreements between the payer and provider or practice.
Why is CAQH important during physician payer credentialing?
Many commercial healthcare payers use applicable CAQH provider information during credentialing and enrollment. Maintaining complete and current provider information can support a more organized payer review process.
What can delay physician payer credentialing or enrollment?
Delays may result from incomplete applications, missing documents, outdated provider information, verification issues, payer requests, network availability, or payer processing timelines.
What happens when a physician joins a new medical group?
Depending on payer requirements, physician and practice information may need to be updated or associated with the new medical group, billing entity, tax structure, or practice location.
Can credentialing support help when a practice adds several physicians?
Yes. A structured credentialing workflow can help coordinate provider information, documentation, payer applications, outstanding requirements, and status tracking across multiple physicians.
Why is recredentialing important after a physician becomes participating?
Provider information can change over time, and applicable payers may require periodic credentialing updates or revalidation. Maintaining current licenses, professional information, practice locations, and other credentialing data can help support continued participation.
