Get on Insurance Panels FAQ – What you need to know about credentialing
What is the credentialing process, when working with you?
Essentially, we manage all of the tedious, time-consuming work you don’t have time for.
We start by sending you a simple application we call the Master Survey. It asks you basic questions about what your education, expertise and license. This allows us to get to know you and so that we can identify the best way to get you on the panels you want.
Once this is done, we work with you to determine which insurance companies are a great match for your practice. We’ll provide a list of our best recommendations after researching the area you operate out of.
At that point, we handle the strenuous process of retrieving the credentialing applications, filling them out, submitting them and then following up continually to ensure that the insurance company approves the applications timely and efficiently.
We update you throughout this process via phone and an online dashboard that displays the status of your applications. We let you know immediately whenever we need additional information for your application, such as signatures.

Hello,
I’m interested in opening a practice in another state and am interested if I can start the application process to get on some of the panels in the new state before I actually move. I also would like to know if being on panels for some of the bigger companies in my current state, will help to get on a panel in another state?
Hello. Just a quick question…can LCDCs be accepted on insurance panels. I live in TX. Thanks.
I just found this article, so I hope this is still checked. I am currently living and am licensed in WI ( but not currently practicing). I am planning on moving to to a different state and my licenses have already been approved. Three questions: how do I complete my applications if I have two active licenses in different states? and I get a job with an agency and start my private practice on the side, how does that affect the application process? and. How are most insurance companies responding to online video counseling?
