Fractional Credentialing
Your credentialing department—without adding a full-time credentialing position.
Helping Hands Credentialing functions as an outsourced credentialing department of one for ABA agencies that need ongoing support with provider enrollment, roster management, demographic updates, payer follow-up, and credentialing oversight.
Limited to 5 active agency partners at a time.
Why Fractional Credentialing?
An outsourced credentialing department of one for ABA therapy organizations.
Not every growing ABA agency is ready to add a full-time credentialing employee.
When credentialing responsibilities are divided between the owner, billing department, and administrative team, important tasks can become difficult to track and maintain.
Fractional Credentialing gives your organization a designated credentialing resource responsible for helping keep provider data, rosters, payer follow-up, and ongoing credentialing operations organized.
Who This Is For
Fractional Credentialing is designed for:
- Growing ABA Agencies
- Organizations that need more structure as their provider roster and payer participation expand.
- Teams Without a Full-Time Credentialing Employee
- Agencies that need dedicated credentialing support without adding a full-time internal position.
- Organizations With Multiple Payers
- ABA agencies managing provider information and credentialing activity across several health plans.
- Agencies Needing Better Follow-Up & Oversight
- Organizations that need more consistent visibility into payer follow-up, roster activity, demographic changes, and pending credentialing matters.
What Problem Does Fractional Credentialing Solve?
Your credentialing operation should not be scattered across multiple departments.
Fractional Credentialing helps address:
- Credentialing tasks divided between the owner, biller, and administrative team
- Delayed payer follow-up
- Demographic changes falling behind
- Provider rosters becoming outdated
- Lack of a centralized credentialing workflow
- Limited visibility into what is pending and what needs to happen next
