I have extensive experience with various credentialing software platforms such as Cactus, IntelliCred, and CAQH. I am proficient in navigating these systems to input and retrieve provider information, manage applications, and generate reports. My experience also includes working with databases like SQL and Excel to track and analyze credentialing data, ensuring accuracy and compliance with regulatory standards.

I meticulously follow established protocols to verify provider credentials by cross-referencing information from primary sources such as state licensing boards, medical schools, and specialty boards. I ensure all documentation is up-to-date and compliant with regulatory requirements. In cases of discrepancies, I promptly communicate with the provider to resolve issues and obtain necessary clarifications.

To maintain accuracy and timeliness, I implement a systematic approach that includes regular audits of credentialing files, setting reminders for expiring credentials, and utilizing automated alerts within credentialing software. I also foster strong communication with providers to ensure they are aware of renewal deadlines and any changes in their professional status.

I prioritize tasks by assessing the urgency and complexity of each credentialing application. I use a ticketing system to track progress and ensure timely follow-ups. Critical tasks, such as those involving expiring credentials or new provider onboarding, are given immediate attention. I also collaborate with my team to delegate tasks effectively, ensuring that no application falls through the cracks.

In a previous role, I discovered a discrepancy in a provider's malpractice insurance coverage during the verification process. I immediately flagged the issue and worked with the provider to obtain the necessary documentation. This proactive approach not only ensured compliance but also prevented potential delays in the provider's credentialing timeline, demonstrating my ability to handle critical issues effectively.
