Question 1

How long does cardiology provider credentialing usually take?

Accepted Answer

Timing depends on the payer, the provider’s existing enrollment history, the completeness of CAQH and PECOS data, and whether the cardiologist is joining an existing contract or applying to a new network. Commercial reviews commonly take several weeks to several months, so starting well before the provider’s first scheduled date gives the file more room to clear.

Question 2

Do you handle Medicare enrollment and group reassignment for cardiologists?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We support Medicare enrollment through PECOS and coordinate the billing relationship when a cardiologist is reassigning benefits to a clinic or group. The provider, group, practice locations, and reassignment need to be aligned so Medicare claims reflect the arrangement correctly.

Question 3

Can you credential interventional cardiologists and electrophysiologists?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We support general cardiology and subspecialty providers, including interventional cardiologists and electrophysiologists. Specialty and practice information is reviewed across the enrollment record so payer files accurately reflect the provider’s role and locations.

Question 4

Can you credential nurse practitioners and physician assistants in a cardiology group?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We manage payer enrollment for cardiology APPs alongside physician files, including CAQH, Medicare where applicable, Medicaid, commercial payer applications, and group affiliation work.

Question 5

Do you manage CAQH re-attestation and Medicare revalidation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We track CAQH maintenance and Medicare revalidation deadlines along with payer-specific recredentialing requirements. Medicare generally requires physicians and physician organizations to revalidate every five years, although CMS may request off-cycle revalidation; missing a due date can interrupt billing privileges.

Question 6

What happens when a cardiologist moves to a new office or joins another group?

Accepted Answer

We review which payer records, practice locations, group affiliations, and reassignment relationships need to change, then coordinate those updates across the applicable systems. The goal is to prevent the provider’s clinical start date from getting ahead of the payer record used for billing.
