Credentialing and Enrollment Delays: Hidden Costs for Healthcare Practices
Many healthcare providers underestimate the financial impact of credentialing and enrollment delays. When providers are not fully enrolled with payers, claims are either denied or placed on hold, resulting in lost or delayed revenue.
Credentialing verifies a provider's qualifications, while payer enrollment activates the provider for billing. Both steps must be completed correctly and in the proper sequence. A delay in either process can prevent a practice from receiving payments for weeks or even months.
Common Causes of Delays
Incomplete applications, incorrect practice addresses, missing signatures, and lack of follow-up with insurance payers. Without dedicated tracking, these issues often go unnoticed until revenue is affected.
