Provider Credentialing & Enrollment

Get your providers credentialed and billing faster — without the paperwork burden

Every day a provider isn’t credentialed is a day your practice can’t bill. OPX Global manages the entire credentialing and payer enrollment process — from initial application through re-credentialing maintenance — so nothing stalls, nothing lapses, and your providers are revenue-ready as fast as possible.

What We Manage

Full-lifecycle credentialing and enrollment support

Credentialing is one of the most administratively complex and time-sensitive functions in a practice. A single missing document, expired attestation, or missed deadline can delay billing by months or terminate payer contracts entirely. Our specialists manage every step with precision — tracking deadlines, following up with payers, and keeping credentials current.

Initial Payer Enrollment

We manage the full application process for commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid payers — completing applications accurately, submitting documentation, and following up until an effective date is confirmed across the 60–120 day window.

CAQH ProView Profile Management

We build and maintain your providers’ CAQH profiles, complete quarterly re-attestations on schedule, and keep supporting documentation current — preventing the delays that stem from outdated CAQH data.

Medicare & Medicaid Enrollment (PECOS)

Our specialists manage the full PECOS application and reassignment process, navigate state Medicaid requirements, and handle revalidation cycles to keep enrollment active.

Hospital & Facility Privileging

We manage facility credentialing applications, coordinate with medical staff offices, compile required documentation, and track privileging timelines so providers can practice and bill without delay.

Re-Credentialing & Cycle Management

Most payers require re-credentialing every two to three years. We track every cycle across all payers and providers, initiating the process 4–6 months before each deadline so your billing never lapses.

Ongoing Credentialing Maintenance

Licenses, DEA registrations, malpractice certificates, board certifications, and demographics all expire. We monitor every expirable, alert your team proactively, and manage updates so credentials stay in good standing.

Important: Missing a re-credentialing deadline can terminate billing privileges — with no gap billing allowed during the lapse period. That’s revenue that can never be recovered. Proactive cycle management isn’t optional — it’s essential.
Why It Works

Most credentialing delays don’t happen because applications were wrong

They happen because nobody followed up. Payers lose documents. Applications sit in queues. Deadlines go unnoticed until it’s too late. OPX is built around proactive tracking and persistent follow-up — not passive submission and waiting.

Proactive, Not Reactive

We don’t submit and wait. Every application is tracked in real time, and our specialists follow up with payers on a defined schedule until effective dates are confirmed — no more chasing status updates.

Deadline-Driven Process

We maintain a comprehensive credentialing calendar for every provider — initial deadlines, re-credentialing cycles, CAQH re-attestation windows, and expirable renewals. Nothing expires without advance notice.

Dedicated Specialist Ownership

You’re assigned a dedicated credentialing specialist who knows your providers, payer mix, and history. No shared queue, no rotating team — one accountable point of contact.

OPX vs. In-House

In-house credentialing breaks down as you grow

As provider rosters grow and re-credentialing cycles stack up, the burden quickly exceeds what one person can reliably manage. OPX gives you a dedicated specialist team at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

FAQ

Credentialing questions, answered

How long does initial payer credentialing typically take?
Most commercial payers process applications in 60–90 days, while Medicare and Medicaid enrollment through PECOS can take 60–120 days or longer. We submit complete, accurate applications from day one and follow up proactively to avoid preventable delays.
Can you credential providers with Medicare and Medicaid?
Yes. Medicare enrollment through CMS PECOS and state Medicaid portal enrollment are core components of our service, including group enrollment and revalidation cycles.
Do you manage CAQH ProView profiles?
Yes. We build, update, and maintain CAQH ProView profiles for all enrolled providers, including quarterly re-attestations — treated as a standing, ongoing task, not a one-time setup.
Can you handle hospital and facility privileging as well as payer enrollment?
Yes. We manage institutional credentialing and privileging applications, coordinating with medical staff offices and tracking privileging timelines alongside payer enrollment.
What happens if a payer loses or delays our application?
We follow up with every payer on a scheduled basis throughout the processing window. If an application stalls or documentation is requested, we respond promptly and escalate as needed — and notify you immediately if provider-level action is required.
How do you prevent re-credentialing lapses?
We maintain a credentialing calendar for every provider, initiating re-credentialing 4–6 months before each deadline so applications are completed and approved before the current period ends.
Can you manage credentialing for a group practice with multiple providers?
Yes. We support practices from solo practitioners to groups of 20+ providers. As you add providers, we onboard their credentialing as part of the same managed program.

Every day without credentialing is revenue your practice can’t get back

OPX Global will assess your current credentialing status, identify gaps and upcoming deadlines, and take the entire process off your plate.
