When your credentialing person leaves, takes maternity or medical leave, or simply can’t keep up with the volume, the work doesn’t pause. Re-attestations come due. New providers need to be added to panels. Payer requests for information sit in someone’s inbox. PPS provides temporary credentialing staffing — experienced credentialers on contract, working inside your systems or ours, for as long as you need coverage. We onboard in days, not weeks.
What’s included
- Credentialer on contract — typically full-time or three-quarter-time during the engagement window.
- System access setup — we work in your CAQH dashboard, your payer portals, your tracking system.
- Provider roster handoff — every open file, every pending application, every upcoming re-attestation transferred cleanly.
- Weekly status reporting to whoever owns credentialing internally.
- Handoff document at engagement end — your next credentialer (or your returning credentialer) gets a current-state inventory.
How it works
Day 1-3. Contract signed, system access, file inventory. Most engagements have someone working files by end of week one.
Ongoing. Active credentialing work — new submissions, re-attestations, payer follow-ups, escalations.
Handoff. Clean transition out, whether to your returning hire or a permanent replacement.
Who this is for
- Practices whose credentialer just gave notice.
- Practices losing a credentialer to leave (maternity, medical, family).
- Growing practices whose credentialing workload outran one person and a permanent hire is six months out.
- Practices auditing whether they need permanent in-house credentialing or should outsource entirely.
When to consider this versus full outsourcing
If you have stable internal infrastructure and just need to bridge a gap, temporary staffing is the right call. If you’re rebuilding the function from scratch, Insurance Credentialing Services as a full outsourced engagement is usually cleaner and cheaper over 12 months.
