$6,000
A clinician who cannot bill insurance costs a practice roughly $6,000 to $8,000 a month in lost revenue. Enrollment takes 60 to 120 days. Start late and that is a full quarter of billing you do not get back.
What we handle
Three jobs, start to finish, so nobody on your staff has to own them.
Enrollment
Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers. We gather the documents, build and maintain the CAQH profile, file every application, and chase each one until there is a decision.
Contracting
We review the agreement and the fee schedule before you sign, confirm the effective date, and hand the details to your billing team so claims go out clean.
Maintenance
CAQH re-attestation every 120 days, license and malpractice expiration tracking, re-credentialing cycles, Medicare revalidation, and payer directory audits.
60–120
Days a commercial payer typically takes to credential one clinician.
$6–8k
Monthly revenue a practice loses per clinician who cannot bill yet.
14
Documents a payer needs before an application can even be filed.
What the next 120 days look like
One clinician, six payers, from signature to first claim.
DAY 0
Kickoff
You sign, we send the checklist, documents come in through the secure form.
Timelines are typical ranges, not promises. Payers decide approval and timing. What we control is how fast and how cleanly each application goes in, and how hard it gets chased.
BY DAY 5
Filed
CAQH built and attested. Every application submitted, with confirmation numbers logged.
DAY 45–90
Medicare decides
PECOS enrollment and reassignment of benefits come back first, usually.
DAY 60–120
Commercial payers
Committee approvals arrive. We review each contract and fee schedule before you sign.
EFFECTIVE DATE
You bill
We confirm the start date with each payer and hand the details to your billing team.
How it works

Book a call
Fifteen minutes. We ask how many clinicians, which payers, and when the new hire starts.
2
Send your documents
One secure intake form and one checklist. We tell you exactly what is missing.
3
We file and follow up
You get a status update every week with submission dates, confirmation numbers, and who we spoke to.
4
You bill
We confirm the effective date and hand the details to billing.
Why not a platform
Your contracts stay yours.
Platforms credential your clinicians free, then keep the payer relationship. Here is what that difference costs.
