Proven strategies to ensure providers are credentialed, appointed, and privileged with health plans.
Whether you are experiencing issues in certain credentialing aspects or need to LEAN Engineer your entire operation, e4 can provide the industry knowledge and insight you need to achieve your organizational goals.
e4 has developed our credentialing service line to leverage decades of experience with both health insurance plans and health systems. While many people in healthcare systems or physician practices appreciate the importance of health insurance plan credentialing, few understand the timeline and negative financial impact when the process fails. Without the proper workflow, oversight, communication and follow-up, credentialing applications can (and often do) get lost in health insurance plan “black holes”.
