Credentialing after Relocation for Providers Who Are Changing Their Practice
This blog post is about credentialing after relocation for providers who are changing their practice. It discusses different scenarios, including moving within the same state, moving to a different state, and expanding to multiple states.
The article recommends contacting your provider relations rep for the insurances you are currently credentialed with to see if they can grandfather in your credentialing status in the new state. She also suggests asking about fast tracks or recommendations on how to make the process easier.
For groups that are relocating, the author recommends asking about the process of becoming enrolled with the insurance company as a group. She also suggests referencing your contract to see if there is any verbiage or language that will state something or guide you or help you understand what the process is.
Here are some key points:
- If you are moving within the same state and there are different insurances offered, you may need to start the credentialing process over.
- If you are moving out of state, you will likely need to start the credentialing process over with all of the insurances, even the national entities.
- It is always a good idea to ask your provider relations rep or the customer service line for credentialing if there is anything you can do to make the process easier.
- If you are relocating as a group, you will need to ask about the process of becoming enrolled with the insurance company as a group.
