Did you know that credentialing and payer enrollment are foundational elements in launching your organization’s revenue cycle? These processes ensure your providers are correctly enrolled with payers and are eligible for in-network reimbursements. Enrolling with payers involves detailed steps that must be carefully managed to avoid delays or interruptions in revenue flow. Managing provider profiles, directories, and network portals requires accuracy and consistent updates. Overlooking any part of this process can disrupt network participation and negatively impact your financial performance.
In this session, industry expert Yesenia Servin, CPMSM, PESC, will guide participants through the complexities of provider enrollment, revalidation, and attestation. She’ll also provide insights into how these areas affect your organization’s revenue integrity. This session includes an in-depth look at commonly used enrollment portals and forms, along with strategies for managing them efficiently.
Medicare Enrollment Focus
Participation in the Medicare program involves the use of various CMS-855 forms, which differ depending on the type of provider or healthcare entity. These forms are extensive, detailed, and require ongoing maintenance. Large organizations—such as integrated health systems or multi-specialty groups—often manage hundreds of these forms. Keeping them up-to-date is critical to avoid processing delays or denials.
