🚀 Opening a Practice or Adding a Provider? Don’t Let Credentialing Delays Slow You Down.
One of the biggest misconceptions in healthcare is thinking credentialing and provider enrollment are the same thing.
They’re not — and understanding the difference can protect your revenue.
🩺 Credentialing = Insurance companies verify your education, licenses, board certifications, malpractice coverage, and background.
⏳ Timeline: Typically 60–120 days
📋 Provider Enrollment = Once approved, you’re loaded into the payer’s system so you can submit claims and get paid.
⏳ Timeline: Typically 30–90 additional days
That means the full process can take 90–180+ days, depending on the payer.
Insurance companies control the timelines — but strategy, accuracy, and follow-up control how smoothly it goes.
At Physicians Credentialing Services, we:
✔ Submit clean, complete applications
✔ Track every submission
✔ Follow up consistently
✔ Escalate when necessary
✔ Keep you informed every step of the way
Your focus should be patient care.
Our focus is protecting your revenue cycle.
