Credentialing & Payer Contracting

Your provider is seeing patients.
Are they getting paid?

Credentialing errors lead to denied claims, delayed reimbursements, and lost revenue. We ensure every provider is properly enrolled before the first claim is submitted.

The Reality

Adding a provider is one of the highest risk moments in your revenue cycle.
Highest Risk

Every payer has different enrollment requirements and approval timelines. A single enrollment mistake can delay reimbursement for weeks, leaving providers seeing patients without getting paid. Most practices discover the issue only after claim denials begin to accumulate.

The provider was credentialed. The taxonomy code was wrong.

Real Incident

Las Vegas Medical Practice

Why Choose Lama Healthcare

We connect credentialing with billing so revenue isn't lost between the two.

Every enrollment approval, taxonomy code, effective date, and payer confirmation is shared with your billing team before claims are submitted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common credentialing questions.

The timeline depends on each payer. Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurers all have different processing times. We track every application proactively and follow up regularly to minimize delays.

Providers may begin seeing patients, but claims often cannot be reimbursed until enrollment is approved with the appropriate payer. We help coordinate approvals so billing begins at the right time.

CAQH is a centralized provider database used by many insurance companies during credentialing. Keeping provider profiles accurate and regularly attested prevents unnecessary enrollment delays.

Yes. We manage Medicare enrollment through PECOS, Medicaid enrollment, NPI registration, and ongoing provider maintenance for government payers.

Absolutely. We evaluate reimbursement rates, identify underperforming contracts, compare them against current benchmarks, and support negotiations for stronger payer agreements.

We identify the reason for the denial, prepare supporting documentation, submit reconsiderations, and work directly with the payer until the issue is resolved whenever possible.

We continuously monitor renewal deadlines, manage recredentialing submissions in advance, and notify your team before credentials expire so providers maintain uninterrupted billing privileges.

Every enrollment milestone, including payer approval, effective dates, taxonomy verification, and payer participation, is communicated to the billing team before claims are submitted.
