Credentialing is the process of verifying your qualifications to treat patients covered by specific health insurance networks. It ensures you meet their standards for education, experience, and licensure.
A taxonomy code is a ten-digit alphanumeric code that identifies your healthcare provider type and specialty. Networks use these codes to categorize providers and determine eligibility for reimbursement.
The credentialing timeframe varies depending on the network. It can take anywhere from 30 to 120 days per network, so it's important to plan ahead. But some specialist services can get this done much faster!
Required documents can vary by network, but common ones include:
Start early, verify all information is accurate and current, and track deadlines to avoid delays. Don't hesitate to reach out to the network contact person if you have any questions.
Incomplete applications, missing documentation, or discrepancies in information can lead to denials. Ensure all required documents are attached and information aligns with your license, certifications, and CV.
Each network has its own appeals process. It typically involves submitting a formal appeal letter with any additional supporting documentation that addresses the reason for denial.
Yes, some networks and states mandate specific CE credits to maintain your credentials. Stay updated on your specific requirements to avoid credentialing lapses.
