Starting Too Late
Credentialing takes time. Beginning enrollment only after a provider joins means weeks of unbillable services.
Letting Credentials Lapse
A missed re-credentialing deadline can freeze payments overnight. Proactive tracking prevents costly lapses.
Incomplete Applications
Small omissions trigger long delays. Complete, accurate applications and CAQH maintenance keep approvals moving.
Key takeaways
- Start credentialing early
- Track re-credentialing dates
- Maintain CAQH profiles
- Submit complete applications
