Credentialing For Hire: 

PLEASE NOTE.... Hiring an outside company to do your credentialing is costly, time consuming and confuses the process. You are better off credentialing yourself so that you become familiar with the process and so that you can monitor progress on your own. Groups use Group NPI and Group EIN. Individuals use your personal NPI and Personal EIN.

Typically a credentialer will charge on average $100-200 per payer. They can also do your billing and charge on average 3%-8%
