Physician Credentialing Services and Medical Provider Enrollment Services
Physician credentialing services with Microwize help you avoid all the headaches, stacks of paperwork, and confusion with insurance companies. Trust the experts at Microwize to help you navigate the difficult process of provider enrollment and national medical credentialing at a low cost.
One of the most integral elements of running a practice is to get credentialed and maintain your provider’s credential status. Without proper enrollment, payments can be delayed or refused by the insurance carriers, even if the physician is able to provide services that are competent and medically necessary. Ignoring or missing the credentialing process can result in thousands of dollars in lost income.
At Microwize we offer physician credentialing services, helping providers achieve better revenues.Contact us to get started with provider credentialing services.
Why Do Physicians Need Credentialing?
Physician credentialing is a process of enrollment and validation that a physician is part of a payer’s network and is authorized to provide services to patients. Credentialing is needed to verify that the physician meets the standards determined by the payer (insurance company) by reviewing such items as the individual’s license, experience, certification, education, training, affiliations, malpractice, and adverse clinical occurrences, and clinical judgment.
