What Is Medical Credentialing?
Medical credentialing is the process of verifying the qualifications of healthcare providers, including their education, training, licensure, and board certifications. It confirms that they have the necessary credentials to provide medical services within specific healthcare facilities. Credentialing is crucial for building trust with patients and payers, as it directly impacts a provider’s ability to participate in insurance networks and deliver patient care.
Our credentialing services ensure that all documentation is properly verified, updated, and submitted on time to avoid potential delays or denials.
