Credentialing That Protects Your Revenue & Your Providers

Credentialing is one of the most time-consuming administrative burdens in healthcare — but when it's done incorrectly or late, it can freeze revenue, trigger compliance issues, and put providers at risk.

Healthcare Inspired's credentialing specialists manage every step — from initial applications and CAQH setup to hospital privileging, payer enrollment, and ongoing re-credentialing. We track deadlines, chase down paperwork, and keep your providers current so your practice never misses a billing day.

What We Do

Full-Spectrum Credentialing Services

From initial setup to ongoing maintenance, we handle every piece of the credentialing puzzle so nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Medicare & Medicaid enrollment (PECOS)
  • EDI/EFT setup coordination
  • Application status follow-up

  • Initial privilege application packets
  • Privilege reappointment submissions
  • Medical staff office liaison
  • Temporary privilege requests

Primary Source Verification

We perform thorough PSV for education, training, licensure, board certifications, work history, and sanctions — meeting NCQA and TJC standards.

  • License verification (all states)
  • DEA & CDS certificate verification
  • Board certification confirmation
  • OIG/SAM exclusion screening
