Insurance Credentialing Services for Healthcare Providers
Helping Hands Credentialing provides insurance credentialing support for individual healthcare professionals, group practices, therapy clinics, ABA organizations, behavioral health providers, and multidisciplinary healthcare organizations.
We help clients prepare accurate, complete, and consistent credentialing files for commercial health plans, managed care organizations, behavioral health networks, and specialty payer networks. Our work is designed to reduce preventable inconsistencies between provider licenses, NPI records, tax documents, CAQH information, practice locations, professional histories, and payer applications.

What Is Insurance Credentialing?
Insurance credentialing is the process through which a health plan or payer reviews a provider’s professional qualifications and background before approving the provider for participation.
The payer may review information such as:
- Professional licenses and certifications
- Education, training, and work history
- Professional liability insurance
- National Provider Identifier information
- Taxonomy and specialty classifications
- Practice locations and service areas
- Ownership and organizational information
- Disclosure and sanctions information
- CAQH or payer-specific credentialing profiles
Credentialing is related to provider enrollment and contracting, but the terms are not interchangeable. Credentialing evaluates qualifications. Contracting establishes the network participation agreement. Enrollment loads the provider or organization into the applicable payer or government-program systems.
