FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

What is psychiatry credentialing?

Psychiatry credentialing verifies that psychiatrists and mental health professionals are competent to enroll in insurance networks. The steps include validating a doctor’s licensure, ensuring they are certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, verifying documentation of residency training, completing a background check, securing accident insurance, and applying for a National Provider Identifier. Qualifications in the field of psychiatry focus on understanding mental health and the ability to treat various behavioral health issues. Insurance firms utilize psychiatrists’ credentials to verify the qualifications of psychiatrists who are enrolling in their networks.

It normally takes 6 to 10 weeks for a psychiatrist’s credentials to be approved and for the doctor to start accepting patients with insurance. It takes Medicare between 4 and 6 weeks to complete its mental health credentialing process. Meanwhile, it takes 6 to 8 weeks for commercial mental health insurance providers to update you about the enrollment process. If you work for a multi-state licensing body, telepsychiatry credentialing may take longer than expected. Professional licensing services decrease wait times to 5 to 7 weeks by proactive planning and establishing good connections with payers.
Yes, we provide comprehensive telepsychiatry credentialing services. These include getting medical licenses in multiple jurisdictions, making sure patients follow state rules, signing them up for telepsychiatry platforms, and billing insurance companies for virtual mental health services. While services are being delivered remotely, telepsychiatry practices must be fully licensed in every state where the patients are located. We take care of managing state medical licenses, applications for the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, and insurance licensing to make sure that telepsychiatry practice is fully compliant across different states.

We help physicians sign up for Medicare and Medicaid mental health programs, as well as Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and other local psychiatric insurance companies. We make sure that managed behavioral health companies, employee support programs, and specialist mental health networks all work together to assist providers with their enrollment. Because we have long-term relationships with mental health insurers, it is simpler for providers to enroll, even when networks are operating at near-maximum capacity.

Yes, we take care of the complete process of re-credentialing psychiatrists, so you stay enrolled with insurance companies. Credentials are renewed every two to three years, depending on the renewal demands of payers. We keep track of all the renewal dates, make sure the documentation is up to date, update CAQH profiles, and submit documentations for renewal papers proactively so that credentials remain valid. Regular compliance inspections ensure that physicians can continue to participate in mental health networks and generate revenue from their practices.
