Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between credentialing and enrollment?

What’s the difference between credentialing and enrollment?

Credentialing verifies your qualifications (e.g., licenses, board certifications), while Enrollment connects you with payers so you can submit claims and receive reimbursement.
