Activate a denials prevention mindset with strong credentialing

Decreasing denials is a top priority for revenue cycle teams. Denials – and ultimately lost revenue – can result from missteps in the credentialing process. While detailed and labor-intensive, an effective credentialing process is key to addressing this challenge. Organizations that prioritize the credentialing process are positioned to move from a mindset of denials management to denials prevention.

Netsmart supports our clients in their effort to decrease denials and increase reimbursement by providing credentialing services. This revenue cycle management service helps streamline the provider onboarding process, organizes the collection of documentation, and takes a proactive approach to managing the details of credentialing.
