Initial credentialing is one milestone. Keeping providers credentialed — across the 120-day CAQH attestation cycle, the 24-month payer recredentialing cycle, the biennial hospital recredentialing, license renewals, DEA renewals, board recertification — is the ongoing operational discipline. PPS’s Credentialing Maintenance Service handles all of it on a recurring basis so providers stay in-network and billing-ready continuously.
What’s included
- CAQH attestation every 120 days for every provider on the roster.
- Payer recredentialing every 24-36 months (varies by payer).
- Hospital recredentialing every 24 months at each affiliated facility.
- Document refresh — license, DEA, malpractice COI, board certifications, state-controlled-substance registrations.
- Calendar tracking — every credential, every expiration, surfaced 90 days before it lapses.
- Roster management for groups — single dashboard view of every provider’s state across every credential.
- Onboarding new providers to the existing payer panels as the group grows.
- Offboarding departing providers so the roster stays clean and you don’t recredential ghosts.
How it works
Maintenance is structured as a recurring monthly retainer. Every month: review the 90-day expiration window, request documents from providers ahead of expiration, file re-attestations, file recredentialing applications, escalate anything stalled.
You get a monthly summary: what we filed, what’s pending, what’s coming up.
Who this is for
- Established practices with 2+ providers where credentialing is too much for the practice manager.
- Groups whose initial credentialing was done elsewhere and now needs an ongoing owner.
- DSOs, MSOs, and physician groups with rosters of 10+.
- Solo practitioners who don’t want to track this themselves.
Why this matters more than it looks
Lapsed credentials don’t fail loudly. A CAQH attestation that expires sits there until a payer pulls it during a routine review — and then the provider is silently out-of-network for a window that the practice may not discover until claims start denying weeks later. Active maintenance prevents this entirely.
