    Why enrollments stall

    Incomplete applications

    One missing attestation or expired document resets the payer's clock entirely.

    Stale CAQH

    An unattested or outdated CAQH profile blocks most commercial enrollments.

    No follow-up cadence

    Payers rarely volunteer status; applications sit for months until someone calls.

    Billing before effective date

    Claims submitted before the approved effective date are denied and often unrecoverable.

    What enrollment includes

    Document collection

    Licenses, DEA, malpractice, board certificates, W-9, CV and disclosures gathered and version-tracked.

    CAQH setup and maintenance

    Profile creation, attestations and re-attestations kept current.

    Application submission

    Complete, payer-specific applications for each plan and product line.

    Contract review support

    Participation agreements reviewed for effective dates, products and fee schedule references.

    Active follow-up

    Scheduled payer contact until an approval, effective date and provider ID are confirmed in writing.

    Roster and expirable tracking

    Central record of every provider, payer, effective date and upcoming expiration.
