FAQ

NP Credentialing Questions Answered

How long does NP credentialing take?

Initial NP credentialing typically takes 60-90 days with Medicare and 30-120 days with commercial payers. Our expedited process helps minimize delays.

What certifications are required for NPs?

NPs must hold national certification from AANP, ANCC, or other recognized certifying bodies specific to their specialty (Family, Acute Care, Pediatric, Psychiatric, etc.).

Do NPs need a collaborating physician?

Requirements vary by state. Some states require collaborative practice agreements with physicians, while others allow full independent practice. We help navigate state-specific requirements.
