Small mismatches can reset review time
Incorrect taxonomy codes, mismatched legal names, outdated practice locations, group-to-individual linking issues, and missing signatures can create payor corrections that add weeks.
Follow-up discipline matters
Once applications are submitted, payor follow-up should be scheduled, documented, and owned. Status visibility helps teams catch deficiencies before they turn into revenue-impacting delays.
Use a readiness checklist
A structured readiness review should verify CAQH, licenses, DEA or CDS where applicable, malpractice coverage, W-9 details, NPIs, addresses, contacts, payor access, and required attachments.
