Being a provider you already know the how beneficial it is to be on a variety of insurance panels. You are able to build you client volume and not have to turn away new clients because you don’t accept an insurance carrier. When the time comes to re-credential a specific health plan it can be a daunting task that you or your staff may not have time for. This could result in a loss of clients, claims not being paid or even being locked out of a health plan.
