When considering provider enrollment and credentialing services with pie Health, rest assured that our onboarding process is designed for ease and efficiency, entirely online. Here's what you can expect:

Onboarding Made Easy

Upon partnering with pie Health, you'll receive access to our user-friendly web portal via a secure link. The onboarding process is straightforward and guided, following a wizard-style interface. You'll be able to enter essential data and upload required documents with ease.

Handling Situations Without All Documents

We understand that obtaining all necessary documents can sometimes be a challenge. Here's how we can assist in such situations:

Practice and Provider Data: If you're missing certain details or documents during the initial onboarding, don't worry—you can still get started. We recommend providing as much information as you can, and our team will work with you to ensure a smooth process.

Bulk Import Option: For added convenience, we offer a bulk import option for an additional fee. This feature allows you to streamline data entry for multiple providers and locations, even if you don't have all the required documents readily available.

Practice Preparation

This section serves as a comprehensive guide to the document requirements for healthcare practices undergoing insurance credentialing. It begins by outlining the high-level categories of documents essential for the process. Subsequently, a detailed list, meticulously organized by category, follows to ensure clarity and ease in gathering the necessary documentation. These documents are vital for a seamless and successful credentialing experience, helping practices establish strong relationships with payers and streamline their operations.

Gather Essential Information: Collect key practice details, including legal business name, tax identification number (TIN), National Provider Identifier (NPI), and contact information. Ensuring this information is accurate and up-to-date is crucial.

Insurance Coverage Information: Prepare a list of current malpractice insurance policies and details, including policy numbers and effective dates.

Provider Information: Compile comprehensive data on all providers in your practice, including their full names, NPIs, credentials, and any relevant licensing details.

Practice Licenses: Ensure that all practice licenses, permits, and certifications are current and accessible.
