Provider Enrollment
Managed program eligibility, timely re-credentialing, and compliance that ensures revenue integrity.
Provider enrollment is the process by which healthcare providers apply to participate in various healthcare programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance networks and obtain privileges at a hospital or facility. The enrollment process typically involves submitting an application and providing documentation of the provider’s credentials, such as their medical license, certifications, and professional experience.
Welter Healthcare Partners will manage and streamline your practice’s provider enrollment.
Practices face significant challenges managing credentialing information for healthcare professionals, especially during expansion or startups.
Inaccuracies with Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers, as well as errors in claims or payments, can negatively impact revenue, cash flow, referral patterns, patient care and overall operations. It’s critical to maintain accurate and up to date information to prevent such issues.

Why is Enrollment Important?
The purpose of provider enrollment is to ensure that only qualified and reputable providers are allowed to participate with payers and obtain facility privileges to provide services for patients. Providers who are enrolled are typically required to adhere to certain standards of care and follow specific rules and regulations governing their participation in the program.
Once a provider is enrolled, they can receive payments for services rendered to patients who are covered by the program. Provider enrollment is an ongoing process, and providers must maintain their enrollment status by meeting certain requirements, such as completing continuing education courses or undergoing periodic credentialing reviews.
