In the most basic terms, provider enrollment (sometimes referred to as payer enrollment) is the process through which healthcare providers apply to be included in a health insurance network. As an in-network provider, you will be able to treat patients who carry that insurance and be reimbursed for your services.
Credentialing involves verifying a healthcare provider's qualifications and background to ensure that they meet the standards for patient care. The goal is to ensure providers have the education, training, and experience to provide safe and effective care.
