Lapsed Credentialing is a Claim Denial Problem
Most practices blame the billing department when claims deny for CO-197 or CO-24. In reality, 40%+ of authorization denials trace directly to lapsed credentialing.
- Clinician forgets 120-day CAQH ProView re-attestation reminder email.
- Commercial payer portal flags provider record as inactive or non-compliant.
- Next month's batch claims deny as 'Provider Not In-Network' (CARC Code CO-197).
- Billing team spends 3 weeks researching EHR mapping before realizing credentialing lapsed.
- Practice writes off $30,000+ in non-retroactive outpatient visits.
- Automated token re-attestation executed 14 days before CAQH expiration.
- State license renewals polled directly from state board databases.
- Proactive re-credentialing dossiers submitted to payers 180 days prior to cycle cutoff.
