What is Credentialing?
Definition
Credentialing is the process of verifying a healthcare provider's qualifications, including education, training, licensure, certifications, and work history, to establish their eligibility to participate in insurance networks and provide billable services. The process also includes enrollment with individual payers, which grants providers billing privileges. Credentialing must be maintained through regular re-verification cycles.
Why It Matters
Providers cannot bill insurance payers until credentialing and enrollment are complete, which typically takes 60-120 days. Lapses in credentialing can result in claim denials for all services rendered during the gap period. For growing organizations that frequently onboard new providers, credentialing delays directly translate to delayed revenue generation.
