Preparation is the fastest way through credentialing. Have these ready before you apply:
- Active, unrestricted license
- NPI 1 (and NPI 2 if you have a business entity)
- Tax ID / EIN and IRS confirmation letter
- Current, attested CAQH profile
- Professional liability insurance certificate
- Practice address, phone and hours
- Résumé or CV with no unexplained gaps
- Diplomas, certifications and DEA if applicable
Common hold-ups
- CAQH not re-attested every 120 days
- Names or addresses that don't match across documents
- Missing work-history explanations
