What Is a Credentialing VA?

A Credentialing VA from HealthSystemVAs handles the administrative work of enrolling and maintaining provider credentials with insurance payers — managing CAQH profile setup and updates, submitting and tracking payer credentialing applications, managing re-credentialing cycles, and following up on application status — so providers are approved to bill as quickly as possible.

Who This Is For

PT, chiropractic, neurosurgery, and outpatient clinics adding new providers, opening new locations, managing complex re-credentialing cycles, or dealing with CAQH profile lapses that are delaying payer approvals.

Problems This Solves

  • New provider can't bill for 60–120+ days due to credentialing delays
  • CAQH profile out of date, delaying re-credentialing
  • No one dedicated to following up on credentialing application status
  • Re-credentialing deadlines missed, requiring restart
  • Group enrollment not completed, limiting billing options
