Individual Provider Credentialing Services

As a patient, you would not want to compromise with your doctor’s qualifications. And as a healthcare organization, you would want to employ doctors who are well qualified and best at what they do. Having healthcare providers who are qualified and have a good track record is crucial to any practice’s success. To verify a healthcare provider’s qualifications and background to meet the standards of providing patient care is Individual Provider Credentialing. With an aim that patients receive safe and quality care from qualified healthcare providers, individual provider credentialing is important in all healthcare organizations, big or small.

The Need for Individual Provider Credentialing

Without individual provider credentialing, a provider is bound to face multiple challenges. It is important healthcare provider’s credentialing is done to ensure a patient is being treated in safe hands. When the healthcare provider meets the standard set by regulatory bodies, it ensures that patients receive safe, effective, and high-quality care, with minimized risks of audits.

Instapay Healthcare Services’ Credentialing Process

As a leader in healthcare billing and coding offering, Instapay Healthcare Services provides individual provider credentialing services. Our comprehensive and rigorous process ensures that all healthcare providers meet the necessary standards of quality, compliance, and safety. We, at Instapay Healthcare Services follow particular steps for provider credentialing:

Application Submission

All healthcare providers- doctors, nurses, specialists, must fill an application with details about their education, professional background, work history, specialities and their certifications.

Verification of Information

This is an important step to move the credentialing process ahead. The following documentations are verified:
  • Licensure verification of state and national licenses.
  • Board certification through accredited boards and professional organizations.
  • Education and training including medical school, residency, fellowships and additional training programs.
  • Work history and references from provider’s previous employers.
  • Malpractice, claims history, lawsuits and disciplinary actions history against the provider.
  • Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and controlled substances use history verification.
Background Checks
Healthcare provider’s check for any past criminal activities, convictions, and ongoing legal issues affect provider credentialing.
Review and Evaluation

A credentialing committee reviews provider’s qualifications, background and any potential problematic areas. Medical directors, legal advisors and compliance officers often assess provider’s eligibility based upon an established criteria. They also evaluate risks associated with provider’s practice like malpractice history, disciplinary actions, and clinical performance.

Approval and Enrollment

Once a provider meets all the criteria, they are approved for credentialing. A provider may be asked to provide additional information or clarification if any discrepancies occur. Once approved, the provider is offered a contract to join our network at Instapay Healthcare Services, outlining terms of provider participation, reimbursement rates and other network-related obligations. After the contract has been signed, the provider is formally added to Instapay Healthcare Services provider network and becomes eligible to offer services to patients that fall under the insurance plans.

Ongoing Recredentialing

We, at Instapay Healthcare Services, regularly conduct re-credentialing to make sure providers are continually meeting the required standards of licenses, certifications, and quality of care. Any changes in their credentials, licensure status, claims history, or clinical performance is monitored and if any red-flags are identified during this period, it may lead to an additional action.

Compliant with Regulatory Standards

Instapay Healthcare Services’ credentialing process complies with organizations including Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), among others. We undergo external audits for compliance with regulatory standards in regards to provider credentialing and network management.

Our structured credentialing process ensures that all healthcare providers in our network are qualified, licensed and capable of delivering high- quality care to patients.
