Island Provider Services can alleviate the headache of completing the necessary paperwork to have you and your practice enrolled, credentialed and contracted with the insurance companies you'd like to bill for your services.

• We will provide you with the facility and / or provider credentialing checklist to ensure we have all of the requested documents. The checklist will be specific to your specialty and state.

• If you do not already have a CAQH (Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare), NPPES (National Plan & Provider Enrollment) or PECOS (Provider Enrollment, Chain, & Ownership System) account, we will create and maintain your account. Having a CAQH account removes the headache of constantly sending the same information and paperwork to the different insurance companies. Think of CAQH as your one stop location for all required documents.

• Once all paperwork as been reviewed for accuracy, we will begin the process with the insurance companies for your enrollment, credentialing and contract.

• Once your paperwork has been approved, you will receive a provider ID number that is specific for the insurance company.

• You will be able to start billing for the services you provide to your patients.

• Re-credentialing is necessary with each insurance. This can be done yearly or every two years depending on that insurance. The only time you would need to provide new documents, is if you're making any changes or reassigning any of your benefits. Otherwise, you only need to attest the information is still current with no changes.
