Embracing Technology in Provider Enrollment: Why It’s Not Always Easy (But Always Worth It)
Adapting to new technology in provider enrollment and credentialing automation isn’t always easy. Over the years, we’ve seen many large organizations, hospitals, and multi-specialty groups struggle to fully leverage automation tools—and the reasons are often understandable. Here are some of the most common challenges we’ve observed:
Fear of losing control — Leadership often worries that automation will replace oversight or decision-making.
Complex setup and underused features — Many credentialing systems offer powerful automation, but only a small portion of their capabilities get used.
Employee resistance — Teams often fall back on “old habits,” preferring familiar manual processes over new workflows.
Insurance limitations — Not every payor supports automated submission or API integration, forcing organizations to maintain multiple workflows.
Employee turnover — Staff changes can lead to process breakdowns, lost expertise, and inconsistent system usage.
Change Isn’t Easy—But Efficiency Demands It
When a hospital or large medical group adopts new software for provider enrollment, workflows must adapt to take full advantage of automation. Running reports, tracking status updates, and reviewing system data are all key to managing credentialing efficiently.
We get it—change can be uncomfortable. Implementing a system that redefines your entire process can feel daunting. But in today’s competitive healthcare environment, automation in enrollment isn’t optional—it’s essential. AI-driven tools can streamline onboarding, reduce turnaround times, and eliminate repetitive manual work.
Investing the time to align your team and processes with technology will pay off in faster enrollments, fewer delays, and a stronger bottom line.
How 1st Credentialing Uses Automation to Drive Results
In payor enrollment, some delays—like insurance approvals—are unavoidable. But what you can control is how quickly applications get out the door.
At 1st Credentialing, we process and submit over 1,300 applications each month. That level of output is possible because we’ve fully integrated AI tools, credentialing automation software, and API connections with insurance carriers. These tools enable faster turnaround, fewer errors, and consistent communication with payors—something manual systems simply can’t match.
Whether we’re working with a single physician practice, a multi-specialty group, or a hospital system, our automation-first model ensures every provider enrollment is managed efficiently from start to finish.
