Our Credentialing Services
Credentialing in healthcare establishes the qualifications of licensed medical professionals and assesses their background, legitimacy and skills to care for patients properly. The process is also used by insurance companies to allow providers to participate in their network. Here at AIMA, our experienced credentialing specialists take on the tiresome paperwork and hours of liaison with the insurance companies and relevant institutions. We oversee the collection and compilation of;
- Verification of skills and medical licenses
- Identification of medical school attendance
- Confirmation of medical education, qualifications and training (e.g. internships, residency and fellowships).
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations both require the credentialing of healthcare providers. Any healthcare organization not following the CMS regulations are not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement. Similarly, the Joint Commission accredits only those who follow its rules. Furthermore, States have their own rules. Several other groups set standards on credentialing which many healthcare organizations follow to receive additional accreditation. These include; National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC) and Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Healthcare (AAAHC).
Our Enrollment Services
Provider enrollment involves the request to participate in a health insurance network as a participating provider. The process consists of requesting participation, completing credentialing measures, submitting supporting documents and signing the contract. Enrollment is also the validation of a provider in a public health plan and the approval to bill the agency for services rendered.
AIMA manage the entire enrollment process on your behalf, saving your healthcare business money and countless hours of administration. We work with key insurers every single day, making us experts in the field. We negotiate better pay rates and percentages for our clients, utilizing our industry knowledge to achieve maximum results.
