Primary Care
Lawrence
“When I first started my business in Boston, I quickly learned how hard it could be to get credentialed in Massachusetts, especially since there are so many Medicaid managed care plans and private payers in New England. Credex Healthcare took care of the entire process. Their team always made things clear to me and never made me wonder what was going on.”
Nurse Practitioner

From the beginning to the end, they paid excellent care for my work.”

“We utilized the services of Credex Healthcare to handle the credentials of three new providers who joined our group practice in Worcester at the same time. They made sure there were no gaps or delays in coordination among the two hospital systems and several suppliers. We got our income cycle going a lot faster than we thought it would. Since then, they have become our stable credentialing partner for every new provider we bring on board and every renewal.”

All the insurance companies I needed have now put my practice on their lists of approved providers. The process went more smoothly than any other credentialing I have done.”

Before we send out any applications, we check with the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to make sure you have valid credentials.
Primary-Source Verification
All qualifications are checked directly with the Massachusetts medical schools, residency and internship programs, board credentialing bodies, and the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB). Providers coming into Massachusetts from another state also get FCVS approval through the Federation Credentials Verification Service to meet the needs of the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine.

Active Follow-Up and Committee Review
Our team keeps in touch with payers and hospital credentialing committees, answers any requests for more information, and monitors the progress of each application as it moves through the review process. In Massachusetts, the standard time to obtain credentials is between 60 and 120 days.
Recredentialing and Compliance Maintenance
We handle ongoing recredentialing cycles, CAQH attestation updates, Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine renewals, and payer contract maintenance once initial credentialing is complete.
Credex Healthcare works with Credentialing Verification Organizations (CVOs) to cut down on unnecessary paperwork and speed up the credentialing process for Massachusetts providers who work across multiple hospitals and health networks.
When Massachusetts hospitals accept shared CVO proof, they have much less paperwork to complete when they seek to be credentialed with multiple health systems or Massachusetts Health & Hospital Association partner sites at the same time.
CVO methods are fully aligned with CMS rules for Medicare and MassHealth Provider Enrollment. This makes sure that your credentials meet all requirements set by government payers from the very first time they are submitted.
Massachusetts hospitals and insurance companies can access the most up-to-date credentialing files stored in the CVO database. This makes it possible for big provider networks and integrated health systems to review credentials more quickly and consistently.
CVOs support ongoing recredentialing by frequently checking provider files. This helps your Massachusetts business stay in line with the standards for ongoing credentialing set by hospitals, health plans, and insurance companies without disrupting your operations.
