Credentialing Delay Cost Calculator
Every month a provider waits on credentialing is revenue you can never bill. Put your own numbers in and see what the delay is costing, then decide how much “saving money on credentialing” is really saving.
What The Delay Costs
unbillable revenue across the delay window
Estimates assume a ramped caseload and in-network rates; your payer mix, no-show rate, and ramp curve will move the number. This is a planning tool, not a revenue promise.
How To Shrink The Delay (Whoever You Hire)
Fix CAQH/DataSpring Before Applying
Mismatched addresses between CAQH, your W-9 and your applications are the most common silent stall. Clean that up first. It’s free.
Apply In Parallel, Follow Up On A Clock
Apply to all your target payers at once, follow up with each one every two weeks, and escalate anything that’s 30 or more days past the payer’s quoted timeline.
Never Schedule Ahead Of Payer Readiness
Visits before the effective date are write-offs. Gate provider ramp on actual enrollment status, not optimism.
