Our Expertise
Provider credentialing and re-credentialing:
Provider credentialing is the process of verifying a healthcare provider’s qualifications, including their education, licensure, certifications, and professional history. Credentialing is essential for providers to be eligible to join insurance networks and receive reimbursements. Re-credentialing is a periodic update of these qualifications to ensure providers meet evolving industry standards, typically required every 2-3 years.
How We Help:
At ANS Medical Billing, we handle the entire credentialing and re-credentialing process for providers. For new providers, we gather the necessary documentation, verify qualifications, and submit the information to insurance companies to expedite network enrollment. For re-credentialing, we track each provider’s renewal timelines, update their records, and ensure compliance with current standards. By managing both credentialing and re-credentialing, we help providers avoid disruptions in service, maintain network participation, and streamline the reimbursement process.
Payer enrollment management:
Payer enrollment management is the process of enrolling providers in multiple insurance networks, which increases the number of patients they can serve and the revenue opportunities for the practice. Each insurance company has its own enrollment process, requiring providers to meet specific guidelines, supply documentation, and adhere to timelines.
How We Help:
We coordinate all aspects of payer enrollment, handling applications, submitting accurate documentation, and following up with insurers to ensure timely approvals. Our team ensures that providers meet each payer’s requirements, expanding the range of insurance plans they accept. By streamlining the enrollment process and monitoring each application’s status, we help providers grow their patient base, access more revenue streams, and strengthen their practice’s financial foundation.
Compliance with insurance and regulatory requirements:
Compliance with insurance and regulatory requirements is crucial for maintaining eligibility in insurance networks and adhering to federal, state, and industry regulations. Compliance areas include HIPAA for patient privacy, OSHA for workplace safety, and various state-specific healthcare laws. Non-compliance can lead to financial penalties, loss of network eligibility, and damage to a practice’s reputation.
How We Help:
Our compliance experts provide guidance and support to keep your practice aligned with the latest regulations. We review your processes, ensure documentation meets regulatory standards, and assist in implementing industry best practices. From HIPAA and OSHA to insurance-specific guidelines, we help your practice stay compliant and avoid potential issues with audits or penalties. By managing your compliance needs, we provide you with peace of mind, knowing your practice operates within legal and ethical standards.
