Credentialing Services
It is a process by which insurance carriers and hospitals verify the credentials of the medical provider. This includes verification of licenses, verification of malpractice insurance, verification of college degrees, and background checks to ensure that the provider is fully capable to provide services and does not have any adverse actions or convictions in his service history.
Why is credentialing important? Who is it important to?
It is important for the provider to maintain his credibility with the insurance carriers and to hopefully receive a contract to participate in insurance companies’ various programs. This is critical to a medical provider due to the fact that most of us want to see a doctor in our network as it creates savings for us with our medical expenses. Most out of network benefits require us, the patient, to meet a deductible before any payments to the provider of services are made.
For smooth reimbursement of bills from insurance companies, your Healthcare enterprise – be it a hospital or a private clinic – must go through or have a rigorous credentialing process. However, doing credentialing can overload your already stretched resources as it requires careful verification of the healthcare provider’s qualifications like medical license, certifications, internship/fellowship, insurance related to malpractices, DEA/CDS Registration, criminal background check and much more.

As a hospital or a private physician, one must know that insurance firms reimburse in-network providers quicker and with less out of the pocket expenses – this leads to rise in crucial revenues and profits.
