Getting credentialed is only one part of becoming an in-network provider. For many payors, providers, and organizations must also complete contracting, payer enrollment, roster setup, effective date confirmation, portal access, EFT/ERA setup, and post-contract activation before claims can be submitted and paid correctly.
At Helping Hands Training & Consulting, we assist healthcare providers, therapy practices, ABA agencies, behavioral health providers, home care organizations, and multidisciplinary groups with commercial and managed care insurance contracting support.
We help you understand which payors to pursue, what documentation is needed, how credentialing connects to contracting, and what steps must be completed before you can begin billing as an in-network provider.
We provide support for:
Insurance contracting is not just paperwork. It is the process of getting your provider, group, agency, or practice approved to participate with a payor network under the correct tax ID, NPI, service location, specialty, license, taxonomy, and reimbursement structure.
A contracting issue can delay payment, cause claims to deny, prevent providers from appearing in directories, or create confusion about effective dates and network participation.
We help you organize the process from the beginning so your payer records are clean, complete, and ready for credentialing, contracting, enrollment, and billing.
Initial Consultation: We begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your practice’s specific needs and goals. This helps us tailor our credentialing services to align with your business model and the particular demographics you serve.
Documentation and Application Submission: Our team collects and organizes all necessary documentation, including proof of licensure, liability insurance, and qualifications of the therapists in your group. We meticulously prepare and submit credentialing applications to each insurance payor, ensuring accuracy and completeness to avoid any delays.
Follow-Up: Throughout the credentialing process, we will handle follow-up communication and any issues that may arise. Our proactive approach keeps the process moving forward and resolves any challenges efficiently.
Regular Updates and Re-Credentialing: Credentialing is not a one-time event. We provide ongoing support for re-credentialing and ensure that your practice remains compliant with any changes in payer policies or requirements. This includes timely updates and re-submissions as needed.
Commercial insurance contracting allows providers and organizations to participate with private insurance networks and serve members under employer-sponsored, marketplace, or individual health plans.
We assist with commercial payor contracting for providers and organizations such as:
Managed care contracting can involve Medicaid managed care plans, Medicare Advantage plans, behavioral health networks, specialty networks, and other plan-based payer arrangements.
Managed care plans often have their own contracting, credentialing, roster, portal, authorization, billing, and compliance requirements. Even after approval, providers may still need to complete additional steps before they can bill correctly.
