Credentialing is a crucial process, but common mistakes can lead to delays, denials, or lost revenue. Here are key errors to avoid:
- Incomplete or Incorrect Applications: Ensure all applications are fully completed and accurate. Missing or incorrect details can result in delays or denials.
- Missing Deadlines or Lack of Follow-Up: Timely submission and regular follow-ups with insurers are essential. Failing to meet deadlines or check on the status of applications can cause significant setbacks.
- Failure to Verify Provider Credentials: Always confirm provider credentials and qualifications before submission to prevent rejections.
- Outdated Provider Information: Keep provider details up to date to avoid complications during re-credentialing.
- Delaying Issue Resolution: Regularly monitor credentialing applications and promptly address any issues to prevent unnecessary delays.
By avoiding these mistakes, healthcare providers can ensure a smooth credentialing process, benefiting their practice, patients, and revenue.
Medicare enrollment for regular providers typically takes 2–3 months and allows for retroactive billing. However, processing times may vary by state. DMEPOS suppliers can expect a longer enrollment period due to stricter verification requirements, including a site visit.
The CP575 is an IRS notice that confirms your business’s Employer Identification Number (EIN), serving as proof that your tax ID application was approved.This letter verifies the business’s legal name and must be included with the Medicare enrollment application. If the original is unavailable, a replacement letter (147C) can be requested as alternative EIN verification. Medicare only accepts these two documents as proof of the EIN.
The Medicare application form required for provider enrollment varies based on the provider type. Here’s a breakdown:
- Physicians and Non-Physician Practitioners: CMS-855I
- Group Practices, Clinics, and Certain Other Suppliers: CMS-855B
- Institutional Providers: CMS-855A
- Ordering and Certifying Physicians and Non-Physician Practitioners: CMS-855O
- DMEPOS Suppliers: CMS-855S (This form may be undergoing revisions)
For these forms and more details, visit the official CMS website: CMS.gov.
In most cases, a service location is required to begin Medicare credentialing. Providers cannot use their home address as a clinic address, whether temporarily or permanently. While there may be some exceptions, a home address can be used for billing and correspondence, provided a physical business address is also listed. This applies even if the office is still under construction. Applications can be submitted up to 30 days before the location opens to patients. Most commercial insurers follow similar policies.
