Start it in parallel, not after
The most expensive mistake in this process is sequencing. Clinicians get licensed, then start credentialing, then discover that payer enrollment commonly runs 90 to 180 days on its own — so a licence that arrived in March produces its first paid claim in the autumn.
Most of the enrollment file can be assembled while the licence is still pending, and some payers accept applications before the licence number exists. Running the two tracks together is usually worth months of revenue, and it is the single thing we most often fix for practices that came to us after doing it the other way round.
