Before a physician can begin receiving insurance reimbursements, the physician must be credentialed.

Just like obtaining professional licenses, getting credentialed is essential to running a smooth, profitable practice. Credentialing is labor intensive, and requires comprehensive documentation covering a physician’s education, experience, and professional activity since the physician graduated from Medical School.

When you get credentialed by Team LLOYDS here are some of the benefits you will receive:

Better payment

Commercial Medical Insurance carriers pay physicians who are on par with their insurance, in effect, paying credentialed physicians better and quicker than non-credentialed physicians. Consequently, patients who are treated by these physicians also benefit, as physicians do not have to bill them.

More patients

Credentialed physicians are listed in the Preferred Physicians Group from which patients usually select their physicians in order to get maximum benefits and to avoid out of pocket expenses. Therefore, credentialed physicians get more patients.

Improved quality in healthcare

Healthcare fraud is common in the US these days. Since physician credentialing involves a complete background check of the provider’s educational qualifications, professional licenses, experience, fellowship programs, and residency, credentialing helps in controlling healthcare fraud-related crimes, ensuring that only qualified physicians deliver services to patients.

Liberty to choose the fee plan

By being in par with the insurance carriers, physicians can choose the best, most profitable, fee plan. Physicians can either select a fee per service, or take up the capitation fee model based on the average number of patients served per month within network.

Access to the fee schedule

The exact fee schedule for different medical procedures and services are accessible to Physicians who are in par with the insurance carriers. This fee schedule will determine the maximum reimbursement limit for different services and will help physicians in processing their claims accordingly.

Positive Marketing

A thorough physician credentialing plan can provide a positive marketing benefit to a network provider. Many Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) attract large numbers of members through their cost-effective plans. By credentialing to these MCOs, which may have millions of members subscribed to these plans, the healthcare professional has an excellent chance of being chosen by patients near the practice location.
