CREDENTIALING WITH INSURANCE NETWORKS
In today’s healthcare marketplace, the ability to accept potential patients’ insurance plans is essential for your practice’s success. Health insurance credentialing, also called provider insurance credentialing, is a process that medical insurance companies use so that you can apply for inclusion in their provider panels. If you wish to bill an insurance company as an in-network provider, you must undergo the credentialing process.
First, the insurance company you’re applying to will verify that you meet their internal requirements so that you can serve as an in-network provider on their panel. This could include your level of education, training and professional experience.
Once your practice or organization is credentialed with an insurance company, you can bill the payor directly. Also, many insurance companies offer providers other incentives, such as:
- Referrals.
- Preferential reimbursement rates.
- Inclusion in their web-based directories so consumers can locate you as a participating provider for your specific specialty.
