Before a new provider starts

New Provider Start-Date Readiness Kit

  • Six separate readiness checkpoints
  • Completed fictional case with the right handoff decision
  • Editable status worksheet and evidence prompts
  • A scheduling and billing handoff script

Put it to work

  1. Pick one provider, payer and location.
  2. Separate approval, affiliation, agreement and effective date.
  3. Assign the next action before handing off to scheduling.

Credentialing approval, payer enrollment and practice affiliation, applicable agreements, and effective dates are separate checkpoints. Confirm the relevant payer requirements and evidence before making a participation or billing decision.

The Excel workbook includes both PPS enrollment tools. Start with the “Start-date readiness” tab.
