Provider Credentialing Services FAQ's

The provider credentialing application process requires documentation, and lots of it. Healthcare providers give the insurance company access to relevant records, reports, certifications, identifications, and more. The insurance company or insurance panel then reviews these documents to assess whether or not the participating provider is fit to provide patient care services to its clients. If the insurance company deems the provider qualified and competent, they award a credential.

Although the provider credentialing process doesn’t come with any shortcuts, there are best practices you can employ to ensure the process doesn’t slow down. Delays can kill your productivity. Here are a few things you can do to avoid them:

• Submit every document that’s requested 
• If something doesn’t apply to you, make sure you write “not applicable” 
• Don’t skip any questions and answer everything thoroughly 
• Use the format that is requested for things like dates and phone numbers 
• Make sure your CV is comprehensive and up to date with no gaps in years 
• Don’t forget to include a copy of your Controlled Dangerous Substances certificate  

Many providers choose to get credentialed by several different insurance companies so that they can expand their patient base, deliver more services, and earn more money. Each of those individual insurance companies require their own credentialing process.

Even if you choose to only be credentialed with one insurance company, you will still need to get credentialed more than once. This is because providers need to be re-credentialed at least every three years by law, in order to continue practicing.

There are no extra charges for electronic claims transmission. In fact, no auxiliary charges are incurred for any of RCM Centric’s services. We do not maintain a standard “module mentality” of charging physicians on an a la carte basis for each additional service they utilize.

All checks and EOBs will be sent directly to your office. Since most insurance companies offer ERA and electronic versions of EOBs, and EFTs (Electronic Funds Transfer), physicians can receive EOBs and payments faster than a standard paper delivery, allowing the follow-up process to be expedient and efficient. For physical copies, just keep the checks and send us scanned copies of the EOBs.

After signing the contract, we can begin the setup process immediately. Generally, for most physicians, the process takes 2 to 3 days. We can provide an accurate estimate after reviewing your individual practice.

Forms with missing information are uploaded in a Pending Transactions List (PTL), which may be accessed by your secure web log-in. You will be able to review and update any missing information. This information is instantaneously imported into our system, avoiding any delays for claim submission.
