Our Story
Complete Medical Credentialing Services in Georgia
Credex Healthcare brings a precise, well-tested credentialing process to Georgia healthcare providers. We go directly to the source for every verification, working with the Georgia Composite Medical Board (GCMB), the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB), and the Federation Credentials Verification Service (FCVS) to confirm every license, certification, training history, and professional record before your file reaches any payer or hospital committee.
We enroll Georgia providers with Medicare through Palmetto GBA, Georgia Medicaid through GAMMIS, Georgia Families CMOs, and all the state’s major private insurers, such as Anthem BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and Ambetter/Peach State. From the initial discussion of your credentials to the final acceptance message, our team handles it all.

GEOGRAPHIC REACH
Serving Providers Across Georgia, from Atlanta to Rural Communities
Georgia is a state with many different landscapes and economies. Its healthcare needs are wide-ranging, from major cities to rural areas lacking adequate care. Credex Healthcare manages files for doctors in Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Macon, Columbus, and all over the state. No matter the size or location of the practice, we bring the same level of knowledge about GCMB requirements, GAMMIS enrollment rules, and Georgia Hospital Association (GHA) standards to every file.
As we provide remote services from our headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida, we ensure full support for Georgia providers moving to other states and for out-of-state providers verifying their credentials in Georgia. Because we work across the country, we already know what cross-state enrollments entail on both sides, and we handle them without making your practice operations more challenging.

GEORGIA CREDENTIALING REQUIREMENTS
Medical Credentialing Requirements in Georgia
We at Credex Healthcare understand that Georgia credentialing involves multiple state boards, federal agencies, and payer-specific requirements that must be accurately collected before any application is submitted. We identify and address every gap that could pause the entire process. Credex Healthcare owns every item below, collecting, verifying, and submitting it accurately, so your timeline stays on track.
Georgia Composite Medical Board License
Before we complete your application for credentials, we verify that you hold a current medical license issued by the Georgia Composite Medical Board (GCMB).
DEA Registration
Georgia providers who write prescriptions for controlled substances need to be registered online with a dedicated federal DEA portal. We check your registration status and handle the renewal process so that no application is held up by an out-of-date DEA registration.
Board Certification
As part of primary-source verification, we check your specialty qualification directly with the granting ABMS member board or a similar recognized group. This meets the standards of Georgia hospital privileging committees and private payers across the state.
National Provider Identifier (NPI) Confirmation
We check with CMS to confirm that both Type 1 and Type 2 NPI numbers are still valid and enroll practices in PECOS for Medicare and GAMMIS for Medicaid at all Georgia locations listed in your credentialing file.
Malpractice Insurance Documentation
Your current professional liability insurance, which meets the base requirements of the Georgia Medical Practice Act and the specific credentialing requirements of each target payer, is collected, reviewed, and sent as part of your full credentialing package.
CAQH ProView Profile
Most private insurers and hospital certification boards in Georgia require a complete CAQH ProView profile signed off by the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare. We build and maintain yours, so it never gets in the way of your registration.
Primary Source Verification
All training records, internship and residency completions, and work experience are checked directly with the original institutions. Providers coming to Georgia from another state are also required to complete NPDB requests and FCVS verification.
Background and Sanctions Screening
To meet the credentialing standards set by the Joint Commission and the Georgia Department of Public Health, we conduct criminal background checks, Georgia Medicaid exclusion checks, OIG exclusion checks, and SAM database screenings.

TESTIMONIALS
Georgia Providers Reviews About Credex Healthcare
Cardiology
Kwame
“I moved my cardiac practice from another state to Atlanta because I thought it would take at least four to five months to get credentialed in Georgia. Credex Healthcare verified my FCVS, handled the process for my GCMB license, and enrolled me with five payers at the same time. It took me 88 days to get all my credentials and start seeing patients.”
Nurse Practitioner
Monica
“Most people don’t realize how much work it takes to get credentials before they can run their own solo NP practice in Georgia. Before I came to Credex Healthcare, I had tried to handle my CAQH setup and GAMMIS application on my own, but I wasn’t making any progress. Their team took care of everything, fixed the mistakes in my old profile, and within 90 days, I was signed up with Georgia Medicaid and four private payers.”
Family Medicine
Robert
“Our Augusta practice hired three new family medicine providers in the same quarter, and our team was having a hard time keeping track of all three sets of credentials. Credex Healthcare handled all three simultaneously, including two hospital systems and several payers, with no delays. All three of them were billing on their start dates. It’s really hard to find that kind of execution, especially across multiple files at once.”
Psychiatry
Yolanda
“It’s not easy to get certified as a mental health provider in Georgia through GAMMIS. I was worried about the process before I even started because I heard from coworkers that it would take a long time. All those worries were taken away by Credex Healthcare. They knew exactly what GAMMIS needed, sent everything the right way the first time, and at the same time added three more practice payers to my group. Within 95 days, my practice was fully up and running.”
Regional Health System
David
“Our Columbus health system had to issue IDs to providers at three sites and in several fields, and our own team was full. Credex Healthcare took over the whole credentialing process, including adding new providers, setting up recredentialing plans, re-attesting CAQH, and updating GAMMIS registration. After 45 days of working with them, our backlog was gone. In just 90 days, our internal authorization process was going better than it ever had.”
TIMELINE FOR MEDICAL CREDENTIALING IN GEORGIA
Our Georgia Medical Credentialing Process
Weeks 1–2:
File Intake and Application Preparation
A dedicated Georgia specialist is assigned immediately upon engagement. We gather all required documentation, set up or update your CAQH ProView profile, confirm NPI status, and build individualized applications for each target payer and hospital.
Weeks 3–4:
Primary Source Verification
Every credential is checked directly at the source, including Georgia medical schools and training programs, residency and internship sites, specialty boards, and job records. Providers whose previous license or training was outside of Georgia are also required to complete NPDB queries and provide FCVS proof.
Weeks 5–6:
Application Submission
All target payers and hospital credentialing groups receive verified applications at the same time. Medicare applications are processed through PECOS, and Medicaid applications in Georgia are processed through GAMMIS, which is processed by DCH’s centralized CVO.
Weeks 7–12:
Follow-Up and Active Review Management
Our expert in Georgia keeps an eye on all open applications, responds promptly to requests from payers and committees, and provides regular progress reports. Georgia credentialing usually takes between 60 and 120 days, but it depends on the payer and the committee.
Weeks 13 Onwards
Recredentialing and Compliance Maintenance
Once the initial credentialing is complete, we take over ongoing management, which includes recredentialing cycles, reattestation of CAQH, tracking GCMB license renewals, and reviews of payer contracts.
Features
Georgia Medicaid Provider Enrollment and DCH’s Centralized Credentialing
The state’s Department of Community Health manages its Medicaid program, including Georgia Medicaid provider enrollment, which can be processed through GAMMIS. The credentialing process, specifically, operates under the agency’s centralized, NCQA-certified CVO before providers can participate in Georgia Families’ managed plans and CMOs.
GAMMIS Provider Enrollment
Georgia providers may experience challenges in joining Medicaid’s managed care plans, which begin with enrolling via the GAMMIS portal. Credex Healthcare provides enrollment support by managing provider documentation, submitting the initial enrollment application on your behalf, and tracking ATN with DCH enrollment specialists.
Georgia Families CMO Participation
Once you are approved, we provide contracting and network paneling support with Georgia Families’ CMOs, such as CareSource, Peach State, Amerigroup Community Care, and other managed care plans.
DCH Centralized CVO Credentialing
We provide supplemental support once the application is lodged on the GAMMIS portal by uploading documentation of work history, hospital privileges, board certifications, and malpractice certificates; coordinating with DCH CVO staff on any flags; and proactively auditing the OIG, SAM, and NPDB databases.
Revalidation and Recredentialing
Just like any other process, CVO credentialing requires periodic revalidation and recredentialing across CMOs. Credex Healthcare ensures you are always in the network by tracking revalidation deadlines, submitting GAMMIS revalidation packets every 3 to 5 years, and managing CAQH reattestation reminders.
