CMM’s Credentialing Process:

Verify Licensure & Requirements: We ensure that your state license whether is active, unrestricted, and compliant with state board regulations. Insurance payers require verification of your licensure status before approving credentialing.

Register or Update NPI: Verify that your Type 1 (individual) NPI is correct and reflects your current credentials. If you operate a group practice, ensure your Type 2 NPI is properly registered and linked to your business entity. Accurate NPI data helps payers match your application to the correct provider record.

Set Up or Update CAQH Profile: Create or update your CAQH profile with accurate demographic, practice, and professional details. Upload all required documents such as licenses, liability insurance, and certifications. Attest your profile so payers can access your information during credentialing review.

Submit Insurance Applications: We prepare and submit your applications to Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial insurance plans. Each payer has unique requirements, and we ensure your documentation is complete, compliant, and aligned with your credentialing goals.

Insurance Carrier Follow‑Up and Resolution Handling: Insurance carriers may request clarifications, additional documents, or verification of your credentials. We manage all follow‑ups, communicate with payers on your behalf, and ensure every requirement is met promptly to avoid delays.

Receive Contract & Effective Dates: Once approved, payers issue your participation agreement, fee schedule, and effective date. These documents confirm your network status and allow you to begin billing for covered behavioral health services under the plan.
