Introduction
Insurance credentialing delays are a major hurdle for mental health practices. Therapists can’t bill insurance until credentialed, causing slow income and caseload stagnation. This blog offers top tips to manage credentialing efficiently and get therapists paid faster.
The Problem with Credentialing Delays
- Lengthy and complex applications
- Errors and missing documents cause rejections
- Therapists face financial strain without insurance payments
- Practices lose revenue and growth opportunities
- Increased clinician turnover due to payment delays
