You built your practice to help people not to spend months chasing insurance companies, filling out CAQH applications and waiting on payer approvals that never seem to come. Every day your credentialing sits incomplete is another day you cannot bill insurance and that lost revenue never comes back.
If any of these sound like your situation right now you are not alone. These are the four most common credentialing problems we fix every single day.
Most providers are stuck in this exact situation because they missed the behavioral health carve-out enrollment separate applications required by payers like Optum, Aetna Behavioral Health, and Magellan that most credentialing services never tell you about.
How we fix it
We manage both your medical and behavioral health applications simultaneously. So nothing gets missed, nothing gets delayed, and you start billing insurance in 60 days or less.
This is one of the biggest traps in mental health credentialing. Platforms like Headway and Alma own your payer contracts which means if you leave, you lose everything you built and have to start the credentialing process from scratch.
How we fix it
When you credential directly through us, you own your contracts, not a platform. You are free to leave, grow, or change direction anytime without losing a single payer relationship.
Most credentialing services apply to every payer they can find a spray and pray approach that wastes months of your time getting paneled with plans that pay poorly or have no patients in your area.
How we fix it
We analyze high reimbursement and high volume insurance plans specific to your ZIP code and provider type. So every application we submit is a strategic move that puts money in your pocket faster.
1 in 3 credentialing applications are rejected because of CAQH errors outdated information, missing documents, or attestation lapses that quietly kill your applications before they ever reach the payer.
How we fix it
We audit your entire CAQH profile, fix every error, optimize every field, and re-attest every 90 days. So your applications never pause and your credentialing never stalls because of a profile issue.
