Our Story
Complete Medical Credentialing Services in Rhode Island
Credentialing in Rhode Island means working with multiple payers, facilities, and professional boards. Credex coordinates applications, profile maintenance, primary-source verification, and follow-up for new and established practices. For Medicaid, EOHHS is the state agency; provider enrollment and managed care plan credentialing are separate steps.
We organize payer applications for Medicare, Rhode Island Medicaid and its managed care plans, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island, and other commercial plans. We prepare each application on your behalf, track outstanding items, and keep the file moving through payer and facility review.

RHODE ISLAND CREDENTIALING REQUIREMENTS
Medical Credentialing Requirements in Rhode Island
Medical credentialing verification services in Rhode Island involve confirming a provider’s license, education, work history, payer enrollment, and required registrations. Credex Healthcare helps organize the file and track what each payer or facility requests.
Rhode Island Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline License
Verified directly with the Rhode Island Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline and cross-referenced against Rhode Island Department of Health records. We confirm clean licensure with no restrictions or pending actions before any application is prepared.
DEA Registration
Current DEA registration is confirmed through the Drug Enforcement Administration. Renewals are coordinated well in advance, so an expired registration never delays an application that is otherwise complete.
Board Certification
Specialty certification verified at the source with the issuing ABMS board or a recognized equivalent, satisfying the Rhode Island hospital committee and commercial payer primary-source verification requirements.
National Provider Identifier (NPI) Confirmation
Type 1 and Type 2 NPI numbers are confirmed with CMS. PECOS enrollment is managed by Medicare, and Rhode Island Medicaid enrollment is handled across every practice location in your credentialing file.
Malpractice Insurance Documentation
Current professional liability coverage is reviewed against Rhode Island Medical Practice Act minimums and the specific requirements of each target payer and hospital committee before any application is submitted.
CAQH ProView Profile
Your CAQH profile is built from scratch or brought fully current through the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare system and maintained throughout the entire credentialing and recredentialing process, so it never stalls enrollment.
Primary Source Verification
All training records, residency history, and employment records were verified with originating institutions. NPDB background verification queries are completed. FCVS verification is arranged for providers entering Rhode Island from other states.
Background and Sanctions Screening
OIG exclusion checks, SAM database screenings, Rhode Island Department of Health sanctions reviews, and criminal background checks are all completed before any application is submitted.

TESTIMONIALS
What Rhode Island Providers Say
Cardiology
Paul
“I joined a cardiology group at a Brown University Health-affiliated facility and needed hospital privileges plus four commercial payer enrollments completed before my start date. Credex Healthcare got everything submitted within 11 days and had all approvals confirmed within 83 days. I started on time and billed on my first day.”
Nurse Practitioner
Diane
“Opening a new NP practice while managing Rhode Island Board of Nursing verification and Rhode Island Medicaid enrollment at the same time felt overwhelming. Credex Healthcare handled everything and kept me updated without me having to ask once. I was fully enrolled in 87 days.”
Gastroenterology
Mensah
“Credentialing across Care New England and CharterCARE simultaneously finished in 92 days, faster than I was told to expect. There were no correction requests from either committee. Credex Healthcare clearly knew what Rhode Island hospital systems required in a GI application before submission.”
Psychiatry
Sofia
“Before working with Credex Healthcare, I consistently encountered difficulties with the Rhode Island Medicaid behavioral health enrollment process. They understood the process from the start, submitted everything correctly, and had me fully paneled in 89 days.”
Practice Administrator
Ferrera
“Our Providence group requires credentialing across three specialties and two hospital systems. Since Credex Healthcare took over the function, credentialing runs on a consistent timeline, and our internal team no longer carries any of that burden. It has been one of the better operational decisions we have made.”
