Medical credentialing and provider enrollment, in plain terms.
AMS helps with Medicare, Medicaid, BCBS, and all major commercial payer credentialing. We support provider enrollment for individual NPIs and group NPIs, coordinate billing with credentialing services, and manage hospital and facility privileging.
Medical credentialing verifies a provider’s qualifications (education, licensure, malpractice history, and certifications). Provider enrollment uses that verified information to apply with payers so the provider can join a network and submit claims for reimbursement. AMS supports both: we verify credentials, prepare applications, and follow up with each payer until enrollment is confirmed.
Credentialing timelines vary by payer, specialty, and documentation quality. Medicare enrollment typically takes 60–90 days. Commercial payer enrollment can range from 30 to 120 days depending on the payer’s process. AMS works to reduce avoidable delays by preparing documentation correctly and following up consistently throughout the process.
AMS charges no upfront fees for credentialing services. Our services are bundled into a transparent percentage-based arrangement tied to your practice’s collections performance. There are no setup costs, software fees, or hidden charges. Contact us for a free consultation.
Common requirements include provider NPI details, active medical licenses, education and training history, work history for the past 5–10 years, malpractice insurance coverage details, CAQH information, DEA registration, and group or organizational NPI and tax details. AMS will walk you through a complete documentation checklist at the start of the engagement.
Yes. AMS handles Medicare and Medicaid provider enrollment, including initial applications, documentation preparation, and follow-up with the Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) or state Medicaid agency. We also support PECOS (Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System) updates as needed.
If a provider sees patients before enrollment is confirmed, claims may be denied or paid at out-of-network rates. AMS helps practices plan the enrollment timeline before a provider starts seeing patients, and we track application status to minimize gaps. In some cases, retroactive billing may be possible after enrollment is approved — AMS will advise based on the specific payer.
