Springfield Credentialing
Our credentialing services deliver these important benefits:
- Accurate applications that avoid the delays caused by errors and missing information
- Time savings by removing the credentialing burden from your administrative staff
- Faster enrollment so new providers can begin seeing insured patients sooner
- Peace of mind knowing credentials stay current and won’t lapse unexpectedly
Medwave has been handling provider credentialing for more than 30 years. Your medical professionals will move through the credentialing process more efficiently than they would through internal management or less experienced services. Getting credentialed faster means closing the revenue gap that occurs when you hire new providers or establish relationships with new insurance plans.
Credentialing in Massachusetts involves specific state licensing requirements, familiarity with regional insurance networks, and knowledge of medical staff credentialing procedures at Springfield-area hospitals. Our team handles these details and keeps your credentialing moving forward without requiring your staff to become experts in insurance company requirements.
