With our comprehensive team working on your behalf, credentialing expenses become a predictable line item in your budget. This approach ensures that your costs remain stable and manageable, unaffected by factors such as employee turnover, new employee training, paid time off, or sick leave, which typically influence in-house credentialing expenses.

Moreover, research, specifically the NAMSS Medical Service Staffing Study from September 2009, indicates that CVO (Credentials Verification Organization) processing is significantly faster — by 5 to 7 days — compared to traditional in-house credentialing methods.
