Once approved by the credentialing board, they may begin the contract phase to fully participate in providing privileges and reimbursable services or care for a healthcare organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is Credentialing important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When correctly structured, the credentialing process can prevent the admission of unqualified healthcare workers to the healthcare system as well as within a provider network. Ideally, all healthcare workers should be periodically audited following initial credentialing, for both performance and qualification updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Credentialing with insurance networks is important for the provider, and affiliated facilities, as participation is necessary for the provider\u2019s income. Starting the process early, checking for accuracy and completeness, and performing regular follow-up ensures staying on track to completion and increasing revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why choose a Provider Insurance Credentialing Service?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Time is money, whether for a healthcare provider or the facility charged with undertaking credentialing. There is a lengthy time frame needed to complete and review the application, including following-up on the credentialing status, ensuring that the correct documentation is received, as well as working within the credentialing board\u2019s schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is needed for Provider Insurance Credentialing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The provider will need to submit the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Proof of Education<\/li><li>Proof of Training, including board-certification(s)<\/li><li>History of prior employment, if applicable<\/li><li>Other information necessary to assess his or her qualifications for inclusion as a contracted provider<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common pitfalls encountered in performing credentialing:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Incorrect or outdated information from different systems that are non-interoperable as opposed to using a cloud-based, enterprise-wide platform connecting practices, providers and insurers with a single unified platform.<\/li><li>Processing delays from incorrect or missing data that cost revenue, such as missing references or incomplete work history, that are required by payers before they will reimburse for services.<\/li><li>Failure to communicate between all departments, including finance, human resources. IT, risk management and contractual payers, as well as medical staff, to keep the credentialing process flowing smoothly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Credentialing is really a team effort, requiring all resources involved, to work with the medical staff and provider enrollment personnel to ensure that the process is completed with as little loss of revenue as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does Credentialing take so long?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the provider\u2019s part, it takes several hours to fill out the numerous forms required; however, for the facility\u2019s office staffers, the process can take as much as 20 hours (or more) per credentialed provider to complete the following tasks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bikhamhealthcare.com\/provider-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/concentrating-young-male-doctor-working-laptop-clinic-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-201\" width=\"437\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bikhamhealthcare.com\/provider-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/concentrating-young-male-doctor-working-laptop-clinic-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bikhamhealthcare.com\/provider-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/concentrating-young-male-doctor-working-laptop-clinic-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bikhamhealthcare.com\/provider-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/concentrating-young-male-doctor-working-laptop-clinic-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bikhamhealthcare.com\/provider-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/concentrating-young-male-doctor-working-laptop-clinic-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bikhamhealthcare.com\/provider-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/concentrating-young-male-doctor-working-laptop-clinic-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 437px) 100vw, 437px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Initiating background checks<\/li><li>Collecting and verifying credentials, reputation and case history<\/li><li>Collect\/review claims privileging and board certification history<\/li><li>Check for sanctions by the Inspector General\u2019s office<\/li><li>Start verification of primary sources, including applicable medical boards, the AMA, and education<\/li><li>Turning the files over to the credentialing and executive committees as well as stakeholders of the facility<\/li><li>Provide an appointment letter establishing privileges and other conditions to be met<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the time frame can vary wildly depending on many factors, including missing or inaccurate information from the provider\u2019s initial application, slow responses from an education institution, former employer, or other references, as well as lack of openings in the credentialing board\u2019s schedule \u2013 all of which can add weeks or even months to the process, costing both the provider and facility thousands of dollars in lost income and wasteful administrative spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bikham\u2019s Enrollment and Physician Credentialing Services&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bikham offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bikhamhealthcare.com\/credentialing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">complete credentialing services<\/a> for single practitioners, group practices, laboratories, nursing facilities, and others, enhancing approval by reducing mistakes that can hamper completion, costing everyone time and income.
