Credentialing in Medical Billing for USA Healthcare Providers

Credentialing in medical billing is the foundation of getting paid. If a provider is not properly credentialed, claims will be denied regardless of how accurate the coding or billing is.

InfoHub Consultancy Services provides medical billing and credentialing services as part of a complete revenue cycle management (RCM) workflow. We are an India-based offshore medical billing company supporting USA healthcare providers, including hospitals, clinics, physicians, practitioners, therapists, and specialty practices.
By helping organizations outsource credentialing and provider enrollment to India, we ensure providers are correctly enrolled with payers, billing is compliant, and credentialing-related denials are reduced before they impact revenue.

We support providers across the United States, including California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, Georgia, Arizona, Washington, and New Jersey, with offshore credentialing teams based in India (Coimbatore and Chennai).

    What Is Credentialing in Medical Billing?

    Credentialing in medical billing is the process of verifying a healthcare provider’s qualifications and enrolling them with insurance payers so claims can be billed and reimbursed.

    What Is Provider Credentialing in Medical Billing?

    Provider credentialing confirms:

    • education and training
    • licenses and certifications
    • work history and malpractice coverage
    • payer-specific requirements

    Once verified, providers are enrolled with payers, enabling claims submission.

    Why Credentialing Matters in Billing

    Without proper credentialing:

    • claims are denied
    • payments are delayed
    • providers cannot bill under their own NPI
    • revenue leakage increases

    Credentialing errors directly impact medical billing revenue cycle management.

    Credentialing vs Billing in the Revenue Cycle

    Credentialing is not billing, but billing cannot succeed without credentialing.

    How Credentialing Fits Into RCM

    Credentialing supports:

    • clean claim submission
    • payer compliance
    • denial prevention
    • faster reimbursement

    This is why RCM credentialing must align with billing workflows, not operate in isolation.

    We offer medical billing credentialing services as a standalone service or as part of full RCM support.

    This prevents unnecessary credentialing denials in medical billing.
