Medical credentialing is the process of making
sure that providers are in compliance with
obliged regulations. In many cases, it means,
medical credentialing means communicating with
insurance providers so that healthcare providers
can accept third-party insurance patients for
their services to provide treatment. This way
providers can increase their collection. Our

Credentialing To get all group members
credentialed with payer then yes, it is likely
individual credentialing will need to be
completed. If youre being independently
credentialed, you might just need to add other
physicians as rendering providers. As a group
practice, group credentialing comes with the

anyone provider leaves the practice or group, the
credentialed enrollment does not revoke with
them. Therefore, groups are not paying to
