Uncredentialed claims get rejected. Every time.

Payers will not pay for services rendered by non-credentialed providers. A single missed CAQH re-attestation can lock a provider out for weeks. The average practice loses $9,000 per uncredentialed provider per month in denied claims and lost revenue. That is what we prevent.

Credentialing Timeline

From application to first claim, in weeks not months.

Most credentialing companies quote 90 to 120 days. We move faster because we submit clean applications the first time and follow up with payers proactively, not reactively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about medical credentialing.

What is medical credentialing?

Medical credentialing is the process by which healthcare providers are verified and approved by insurance payers to bill for services. It involves primary source verification of licenses, education, work history, malpractice coverage, and DEA registration.

How long does medical credentialing take?

Commercial payer credentialing typically takes 60 to 120 days. CureMed averages six weeks with commercial payers through proactive weekly follow-up.

What is CAQH and why does it matter?

CAQH ProView is a universal credentialing database used by most commercial payers. Keeping your CAQH profile current is essential because outdated CAQH profiles are the number one reason credentialing applications get delayed.

Do you handle Medicare and Medicaid enrollment?

Yes. We handle PECOS applications for Medicare, state-specific Medicaid enrollments, and managed care organization contracts across all 50 states.

What happens if a provider is not credentialed with a payer?

Claims from uncredentialed providers get denied. The average practice loses about $9,000 per uncredentialed provider per month in denied claims.

How often does re-credentialing happen?

Most payers require re-credentialing every two to three years. We track every provider’s cycle and start 120 days in advance.
