Credentialing is one of the most labor-intensive functions of a physician's practice. Statistics show that each year it can take up to 25 hours per provider to complete credentialing forms. Multiply this by the number of doctors in your practice and consider the time required to complete malpractice applications and hospital privilege renewals, and you will see that this process is placing a tremendous burden on your administrative team. This is time that your staff should be focusing on functions directed at increasing your bottom line - coding, billing and collecting.
Cowan, Gunteski & Co., P.A. knows how important the credentialing process is to your practice. Our quality approach to credentialing insures that all of your applications are processed efficiently and accurately, with a minimum burden to your administrative team.
Our credentialing process includes the completion and monitoring of the following:
- Insurance Carrier Credentialing
- Malpractice Insurance Applications
- Hospital Privilege Applications
- Board Certifications
- DEA/CDS Registrations
- Licensure
- Continuing Medical Education Credits
We will notify the physician or their designated representative of the status and expiration of all the above items.
