Insurance credentialing delays can hold back new therapists from billing insurance and getting paid. For group practices, slow credentialing impacts cash flow and clinician morale. This blog covers the credentialing challenges and how working with a billing company can accelerate the process.
The Problem with Insurance Credentialing
- Long and complicated credentialing applications
- Paperwork and documentation errors cause delays
- Therapists unable to bill insurance until credentialed
- Financial strain on clinicians waiting for reimbursement
- Practices struggle to grow caseloads without credentialed clinicians
