Medical credentialing is a labor-intensive, time-consuming, and costly process for medical practices, hospitals and the doctors themselves.

Context & Challenges

Before a clinician joins a medical or pharmacy staff, the institution or company in question must first verify their credentials, a lengthy process resulting in lost salary for physicians waiting to work and lost revenue for employers.

Not only are credentialing and licensing processes long and costly, they are also inefficient as 52.2% of directories contain inaccuracies, with 12-18% of provider directories incorrectly listing a provider as participating in a plan or being out of date.
