What we help with
Medical credentialing services for independent PT practices.
Physical therapist credentialing services support the administrative work behind a payer’s review of your qualifications. We help prepare the information and coordinate follow-up; you provide accurate records and required approvals. Each payer decides participation and effective dates.
Commercial payer enrollment
Map the therapists, billing entities, locations, and requested networks. Prepare payer applications and track responses and remaining steps.
Medicare enrollment
Coordinate PECOS application preparation and Medicare Administrative Contractor follow-up for the individual and practice needs in scope.
Application status & handoff
Keep submission records, missing-information requests, responsible contacts, written decisions, and available effective-date details together.
New practices & growing teams
Start with the change your practice is making.
Opening a new PT practice
Our credentialing services for new physical therapy practices start with your therapist roster, practice entity, locations, and payer list. We identify the applications and provider records needed before assuming participation is available.
Running a small practice
Credentialing services for small practices give an owner or office manager a defined application list and a point of coordination. Tell us what has already been submitted so we can separate new work from follow-up.
Adding a therapist or location
We check the payer’s required individual, group, affiliation, or location steps. A therapist’s previous employment or an existing practice agreement does not automatically establish the new relationship.
How the work moves forward
From a payer list to a documented next step.
- Step 01
Define the requests.
Review your state, provider count, entities, locations, desired payers, and existing applications. Agree which requests are included and who supplies each record.
- Step 02
Prepare the information.
Organize requested licenses, liability coverage, identifiers, practice details, and supporting records. Resolve inconsistent or missing information with your practice.
- Step 03
Coordinate applications.
Prepare the agreed applications through appropriate access arrangements. Obtain the provider’s or authorized official’s required review, approvals, signatures, and attestations.
- Step 04
Follow up and hand over.
Track payer requests and responses. Record written decisions, applicable effective dates, and open questions, then provide the participation details to your practice’s billing contact.
What your practice receives
Clear ownership at each stage.
Your application tracker connects each payer request to the provider, practice, and location. It shows status, supporting evidence, the last response, the next action, and who needs to act. We agree on the update cadence before work begins.
| Who | Responsibility | What it produces |
|---|---|---|
| William Avery | Organize records, prepare agreed applications, coordinate follow-up, and maintain the status record. | Application inventory, submission references, correspondence, missing-item list, and handoff. |
| Your practice & providers | Supply accurate information, authorize appropriate access, review agreements, and complete required signatures or attestations. | Approved information and completed provider or practice actions. |
| Payer or Medicare contractor | Review the request and determine participation, application outcome, and effective-date information. | Written decisions and any remaining requirements. |
Understand the milestones
An application is a step toward participation, not proof of it.
Credentialing is the review of professional qualifications. Contracting establishes the applicable participation agreement and terms. Enrollment completes the payer-specific provider and practice setup. Payers may combine or sequence these steps differently.
An NPI is an identifier. A CAQH profile holds information for authorized organizations. Neither, on its own, confirms that a therapist can bill through a particular practice as an in-network provider. Keep the payer’s written decision and effective-date information with the actual providers, entity, and locations it covers.
Common questions
Know what happens next.
Can you help me get credentialed with insurance companies?
Yes. We help PT practices prepare applications, organize provider documents, respond to missing-information requests, and track payer follow-up. We first confirm the requested payers, provider types, and locations. Approval and network availability remain the payer’s decisions.
When should a new physical therapy practice start?
Discuss the enrollment work while planning the practice and payer list. The required records and steps depend on your providers, entity, locations, and payers. We identify what is ready and what still needs a decision; we do not promise approval by an opening date.
What do physical therapy credentialing services cost?
We quote after reviewing the number of providers, locations, payer requests, and existing application status. You receive an agreed scope before work begins. Initial setup and ongoing maintenance are discussed separately.
Is credentialing included in your billing service?
Credentialing and enrollment are separately scoped. You can discuss application support without changing your billing team. If you also need billing support, we agree on the handoff and the responsibilities for each engagement.
