Retroactive Recoupment: When Payers Claw Back Claims for an Uncredentialed Provider

A new provider starts seeing patients, claims go out, payments come in.

CAQH vs PECOS vs NPPES: What’s the Difference?

NPPES, CAQH, and PECOS sound interchangeable, they all hold provider data, and they all want the same information. But they're three separate systems with three distinct jobs, they don't sync automatically, and a mismatch between them causes denials. Here's what each does and how they interact.

The Cost of Credentialing Delays: What Every Day Actually Costs You

The credentialing process itself is cheap. The delays are what cost money, and they cost far more than most practices realize: $100,000 to $200,000 per provider annually through lost revenue, denied claims, and compliance risk.

Type 1 vs Type 2 NPI: Which Do You Need?

The National Provider Identifier is not one thing. There are two types, Type 1 and Type 2, and most providers eventually need both. Getting them confused or trying to bill with the wrong one causes denials that are easy to avoid but expensive to fix.

Telehealth Credentialing: Multi-State Licensing Without Losing Your Mind

A provider must be licensed in the state where the patient is located, not where the provider sits. That one rule turns telehealth credentialing into a multi-state licensing problem. Here's how the compacts help, where they don't, and how to build a multi-state strategy that doesn't consume your whole team.

Medicare Enrollment Through PECOS 2.0: What Changed in 2026

CMS quietly launched PECOS 2.0 in late 2025 and the production system is now rolling out to every Medicare-enrolled provider through the end of 2026. The new system runs real-time validation against IRS, NPPES, and EFT data, flags inconsistencies as "Stay of Enrollment," and gives CMS expanded revocation authority.

Group Practice Credentialing: Adding a Provider in 2026

Adding a new provider to a group practice is faster than fresh credentialing, but only if you know the structure. Two NPIs, two enrollment tracks, the CMS-855R, roster updates with each commercial payer, and an effective date that determines whether claims pay. Here's how it actually works in 2026.

CAQH ProView: The Profile That Quietly Controls Your Credentialing

Most new providers think the credentialing application is what payers verify. It isn't. For commercial payers, the source of truth is your CAQH ProView profile, and most credentialing delays start with something in that profile being wrong, incomplete, or out of date. Here's how it actually works.
