Why is physician credentialing considered a specialized service?

There is a lot of verification, documentation, and maintenance in terms of physician enrollment. Physician credentialing services provide management of first-time applications, hospital privileges, re-credentialing cycles and payer communications. They serve the purpose of ensuring the freedom of physicians to continue billing insurance. Professional credentialing teams lessen the delays in approvals, avoid network participation lapses, and facilitate multi-payer management. Credentialing services are the bedrock of consistent revenue and operations complying with the policies and rules of growing practices and healthcare groups.
