Contracting, credentialing, and re-credentialing are critical processes in medical billing that ensure healthcare providers are properly authorized to deliver services and receive reimbursement from insurance companies. Effective management of contracting, credentialing, and re-credentialing processes is essential for medical billing operations to ensure that providers can bill for services accurately, receive timely reimbursement, and maintain compliance with payer requirements and regulatory standards. Failure to complete these processes accurately and on time can result in payment delays, claim denials, and potential legal and financial liabilities for healthcare providers.
