Significant Updates to WCH Re-Credentialing Service Contracts

We are excited to announce comprehensive updates to the scope of our re-credentialing services, resulting in essential changes to our contracts. These enhancements are designed to offer greater efficiency, accuracy, and support in managing your credentialing process. Below is a detailed explanation of the updated services we now provide as part of our re-credentialing offerings: 

• CAQH Profile Maintenance and Re-attestation: WCH will ensure that your CAQH (Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare) profile is regularly monitored, kept current, and re-attested on schedule. Given the importance of maintaining an up-to-date CAQH profile for insurance participation and credentialing, WCH guarantees timely updates and accurate information submissions. It ensures your credentials remain compliant with insurance provider requirements. 

• Revalidation/Re-credentialing Applications: Credentialing is an ongoing process, and WCH will take full responsibility for the completion and submission of re-credentialing and revalidation applications. We ensure all necessary documents are correctly filed and submitted promptly, eliminating the risk of delays or issues that could impact your participation status with payers. 

• Communication with Insurance Companies: As part of our service, WCH will act as your representative when dealing with insurance companies. We will handle all communications related to your credentialing, responding to requests for information, and ensuring that insurance providers have all the necessary documentation and updates regarding your current contracts. This reduces the administrative burden on you, allowing you to focus on your practice without having to manage complex and time-consuming communication processes. 

• Verification and Demographic Updates: WCH will conduct regular verifications of your participation status with insurance providers. Additionally, we will manage any required demographic updates (such as changes in practice address, contact information, or other relevant data) throughout the year, ensuring that your records are always up-to-date. It is crucial to avoid any disruptions in payments or coverage due to outdated information. 

• Certificate Monitoring: WCH tracks the expiration dates of your critical professional certifications and licenses, including state licenses, DEA registration, board certifications, malpractice insurance, and hospital affiliations. We will alert you well in advance of any upcoming renewals and assist in ensuring that these certifications are renewed on time. This proactive approach prevents lapses in your credentials that could negatively impact your ability to provide services. 

• Cultural Competency Training Attestation: Cultural competency training is increasingly becoming a requirement for providers participating in various insurance plans. WCH will provide attestation for your completed cultural competency training, ensuring that this requirement is fulfilled and documented properly. It helps you meet regulatory standards while maintaining eligibility for specific insurance panels. 

• BetterDoctor Attestation: Many insurance plans require providers to be compliant with BetterDoctor’s credentialing standards to maintain active participation. WCH will manage this aspect of your credentialing process by ensuring that all necessary attestations are completed accurately and on time. Our goal is to help you avoid disruptions in coverage or credentialing due to non-compliance with BetterDoctor requirements. 

• Access to the CredyApp Program: As part of our updated re-credentialing services, we are pleased to offer live access to the CredyApp Program. Through this platform, you will have direct visibility into your credentialing status, including the progress of applications, updates, and real-time results related to your “Annual Re-Credentialing” service. This program offers greater transparency and control, allowing you to stay informed and confident in the status of your credentials.
