What Our Clients Say About Working With Us

FAQS

The documents needed for insurance credentialing depend on the insurance provider and the practitioner’s specialty. Some commonly required documents include:
Personal Documents:

  • Updated CV with all dates in mm/yy format.
  • DEA (federal) and state Controlled Substances certificates.
  • Malpractice Insurance (Certificate of Insurance).
  • Valid driver’s license.
  • Board certifications.
  • Practitioner license(s).
  • Diploma or highest degree earned (for non-MD/DOs).

Additional Documents:

  • Collaborative Agreement (for Nurse Practitioners).
  • ECFMG Certificate (for providers trained outside the U.S.).
  • Letter of Admitting Arrangement (if no hospital admitting privileges).
  • Passport or citizenship documents (for non-U.S. born providers not previously enrolled in Medicare).
  • Prescribing Arrangement letter (if no DEA certificate).

Legal Entity Documents:

  • IRS Form CP575 or 147C (EIN verification).
  • IRS Form W-9.
  • CLIA Certificate.
  • Office lease (for therapy facilities).
  • Business license.
  • Bank account verification letter (for Medicare enrollment).

Typically, Medicare enrollment takes about 2 to 3 months for standard providers and allows for retroactive billing. Timeframes may differ by state. For DMEPOS suppliers, the process might take longer due to additional verification, including a site inspection.

A CP575 is an IRS notice confirming a business’s Employer Identification Number (EIN). It verifies that the tax ID application was approved and is often required for Medicare enrollment. If the original CP575 is unavailable, a 147C letter can be requested as a replacement. Only these two documents are accepted as EIN proof by Medicare.

The appropriate Medicare application form depends on the provider’s type. Here are the common forms:

  • Physicians and Non-Physician Practitioners: CMS-855I
  • Group Practices and Clinics: CMS-855B
  • Institutional Providers: CMS-855A
  • Ordering and Certifying Physicians and Non-Physician Practitioners: CMS-855O
  • DMEPOS Suppliers: CMS-855S (this form may undergo revisions).

You can find these forms on the CMS website. https://www.cms.gov/

Generally, yes, a service location is required to start credentialing for Medicare. A home address cannot be used as a clinic address. However, a home address can be used for billing and correspondence purposes, provided a physical business location is also listed, even if the clinic is still under construction. Many commercial carriers have similar requirements.
