Our recredentialing and maintenance plan includes the following for each provider:

  • Address updates or deletions (2 included per year, 50% off any additional changes)
  • Expirables maintenance (DEA, License, Malpractice, etc.)
  • Hospital Recredentialing applications (up to 1 per year per physician)
  • Handle all recredentialing and maintenance issues with commercial payers
  • Revalidations for Medicare & Medicaid
  • CAQH Maintenance and attestation
  • New provider enrollment services (discounted by 20-50%)

Adding a provider to an established group

1 Updated and attested CAQH profile- you will need to list your new practice affiliation in CAQH including your start date. You need to be sure that your license and DEA are updated to the new state you will be working in, if you’re being affiliated with a group in a new state
2 The group should provide a list of its contracted payers. Include the commercial, Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid HMOs, workers compensation, Tricare and any TPAs the group is affiliated with.
3 Tax ID (W9 with pay-to address and CP 575/147 C letter for group). You will need to supply this to insurance companies and upload to your CAQH profile.
4 Hospital credentialing is required for some specialties/payers and you need to identify in CAQH which hospitals you plan to have privileges with. If you do not have hospital privileges, establish an ‘admitting arrangement’ with another provider in your area, or determine which hospitalist group/ER you will use for admitting arrangements.
5 New malpractice policy or an updated policy that includes your new employment. This will need to be uploaded to CAQH. Needs to list provider out as named insured on certificate, not just be a policy in the group’s name.
6 You will need the group’s primary billing identifier (Type 2 NPI). This will be listed on your applications along with the group’s tax ID.
7 The group’s Medicare PTAN for the enrollment or reassignment. This will need to be listed in your Medicare application to link to the new group
