A new practice has to be licensed and enrolled with payers before claims will be paid. The order of those steps matters. We help you work through them in a sensible sequence and keep track of every payer.

Common questions
What should I do first when opening a practice?
Licensing and your NPI come first, then payer credentialing and enrollment. We help you plan the order so applications are not held up.
Can I start seeing patients before payers approve me?
That depends on the payer and your situation. We recommend confirming with each payer and planning your opening date around expected effective dates.
Do you cover every state?
Yes. We support practices in all 50 US states. Rules differ by state, so we confirm the details for yours.
