TESTIMONIALS
What Our New York Clients Say
Internal Medicine
Brooks
“It took me months of trying to get enrolled with three big New York payers before I called Credex Healthcare. Within weeks of receiving my file, they found gaps in my paperwork, filled them in, and sent clean applications to all three providers. I had never seen a credentialing company with such a well-organized and meticulous team.”
Nurse Practitioner
Michael
“In New York, getting credentials is a big part of starting a solo NP business, and I didn’t have time to handle it all while also taking care of patients. Credex Healthcare handled all my billing documentation and ensured NYSED approved me through the New York Board of Nursing. They took the initiative, did a great job, and were always available when I had questions. I didn’t think the process could go so well.”
Family Medicine
Sofia
“At our Albany group office, we were adding two new doctors and needed to quickly get them credentialed. Credex Healthcare handled both files simultaneously for several companies and a hospital system, and they never missed a deadline. It took only a couple of months for both companies to get their credentials and start charging. We will work only with Credex Healthcare from now on for all our credentialing and recredentialing needs.”
Psychiatry
James
“It is difficult to get credentialed in mental health in New York, especially when it comes to New York Medicaid mental health plans and managed care group standards. Credex Healthcare quickly understood what was going on. They handled everything properly and got me on the panels for all the payers I needed. The process went much more smoothly than anything else I had tried to handle by myself before.”
Multispecialty Group
Patricia
“Our Long Island group practice has multiple doctors with a wide range of skills. Getting their credentials used to be a constant source of stress for our management team. With Credex Healthcare on board, we no longer have to worry about that. For our whole group, they handle adding new providers, recredentialing rounds, process updates, and CAQH credentialing.”

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What medical credentialing services in New York does Credex offer?
A full range of medical credentialing services in New York includes insurance credentialing, NY Medicaid and Medicare enrollment, hospital privileging, CAQH profile setup and maintenance, NYSED licensure support, IPA credentialing, and ongoing maintenance and recredentialing.
How long does medical credentialing take in New York?
In New York, credentials typically take 60 to 120 days. Under state insurance law, health plans have a set time limit to decide on the entire credentialing application (Insurance Law § 4803 / Public Health Law § 4406-d).
How does New York Medicaid provider enrollment work?
New York-based providers can proceed with the initial fee-for-service enrollment with Medicaid through the eMedNY portal. The same goes for non-billing providers who follow the ORP enrollment scheme. For fee-for-service enrollment, the process starts with obtaining a National Provider ID and ends when you receive the enrollment determination. Medicaid managed care plans, on the other hand, have separate provider enrollment instructions.
Who licenses physicians in New York?
NYSED’s Office of the Professions establishes the regulatory framework for all professionals practicing in the state, including healthcare professionals. Since New York has no standalone medical board, different agencies within NYSED handle disciplinary and professional matters, including state licensure. Physicians, for instance, are bound to adhere to the standards of NYSDOH’s Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC).
Can out-of-state physicians provide telehealth to New York patients?
Since New York is not a participating state in the IMLC, you can only practice as a physician if you have a state license issued by the NYSED. However, exceptions and special arrangements, such as Licensure by Endorsement, allow out-of-state physicians to practice in the state.
What documents are required for medical credentialing services in New York?
Your current NYSED license and registration documents, DEA and NPI numbers, board certification, malpractice certificates, a completed CAQH profile, confirmed work history, residency and training records, and an NPDB self-query are required.
Do you work with IPAs and Medicaid managed care plans?
Yes. Credex Healthcare provides Independent Physician Association (IPA) rosters and delegated credentialing services, helping with contract negotiation, roster submission, and primary source verification.
Do you handle Medicare enrollment in New York?
Yes. Medicare provider enrollment is managed through the Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS) portal. In New York, National Government Services (NGS) serves as the state’s regional contractor and processes local enrollment applications.
