Accountabilities:

The Provider Credentialing Specialist will manage end-to-end credentialing and enrollment activities for healthcare providers while maintaining accurate records, ensuring compliance, and proactively resolving payer-related issues.

- Collect, verify, and organize required documentation from providers to support enrollment processes.
- Prepare and submit credentialing applications for commercial and government payers.

- Provide occasional billing or administrative support, including claims follow-up and payer communication, when required.
