Did you know that credentialing significantly affects your bottom line and staying in-network is vital to the success of your practice? We routinely find that credentialing is a top 8 cause of denials.

1st Credentialing is a highly focused Credentialing Group that is specifically designed to support the needs of hospitals, physician groups, urgent care centers, community health centers, behavioral health facilities, telehealth providers, vision providers, and more.

With our help, healthcare organizations reduce enrollment expenses by up to 33% and credential providers 2-3 weeks faster resulting in higher revenues.

Credentialing is essential for effective medical billing and revenue cycle management because it ensures that:

• Providers are qualified and recognized by payers, which facilitates accurate billing and reimbursement.
• Compliance and fraud risks are minimized.
• Revenue cycle processes are streamlined, leading to improved financial performance.
• Positive provider-payer relationships are maintained.
• Patient satisfaction is enhanced through reliable billing practices and access to in-network care.

Proper credentialing supports the smooth functioning of the entire revenue cycle, ultimately leading to better financial health for healthcare organizations and improved care experiences for patients.
