About the position
We are seeking a detail-oriented Credentialing Specialist to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in managed care and medical terminology, ensuring compliance with industry standards in a medical office setting.

The Credentialing Specialist will be responsible for compiling and maintaining current and accurate data for all providers, completing provider credentialing and re-credentialing applications, and monitoring applications while following up as needed. Additionally, the specialist will maintain copies of current state licenses, DEA certificates, malpractice coverage, and any other required credentialing documents for all providers. They will also need to maintain knowledge of hospital-specific requirements for credentialing providers and set up and maintain provider information in online credentialing databases and systems.
