Commercial payer enrollment is the process of joining insurance networks like Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Without commercial payer contracts, you cannot bill or receive reimbursement for patients with private insurance, leading to significant revenue loss. Our enrollment service handles the entire process from application to approval.

Timelines vary by payer. Most commercial insurance panels take 60 to 120 days to complete credentialing. Some payers like Aetna or Cigna may take 45-90 days, while BCBS plans can take 60-150 days depending on the state. We proactively follow up with each payer on your behalf to avoid unnecessary delays.

We enroll providers with all major commercial payers, including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield (all 34 plans), Humana, and many regional plans. Whether you're a solo practitioner or a multi-location group practice, we tailor our enrollment strategy to the specific payer mix that makes sense for your patient population and specialty.
