Orthopedics
Track ABOS board certifications, state licenses, DEA registrations, CAQH attestations, and payer enrollments for every surgeon, PA, and NP in your group. Credentialing Now replaces spreadsheets with a system designed for orthopedics.
Orthopedic groups manage board certifications, state licenses, and payer panels across many surgeons and mid-levels. Our platform centralizes the tracking so your team doesn't have to.
Track American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery certifications and recertification dates. Automated alerts go out before any cert expires.
Track every state license your surgeons, PAs, and NPs hold, with renewal and CE deadlines centralized in one dashboard.
Monitor DEA registrations for every prescriber. Automated email alerts go out before expiration so you never miss a renewal.
Track in-progress payer enrollments per provider and discipline. Add follow-up notes with due dates that trigger reminder emails so applications never stall.
Track CAQH profiles and attestation deadlines. Automated reminders keep providers attesting on time so payer rosters stay clean.
Group providers by facility and region. Region admins see only their scope; corporate sees the whole organization across hospitals, ASCs, and clinics.
Bulk import providers via CSV or build profiles individually. Upload board certs, licenses, DEA, and payer documents into categorized provider files.
The platform monitors expiration dates for ABOS certifications, state licenses, DEA, CAQH, and Medicare/Medicaid enrollments. A daily admin digest plus weekly provider notifications ensure nothing slips.
Monthly OIG and SAM.gov exclusion checks plus an audit log keep you ready for payer audits. Run PDF reports for expiring licenses, board certs, and re-credentialing in progress whenever you need them.
An orthopedic surgeon's credentialing file reaches beyond licenses and board certifications into surgical privileges, workers' comp panels, and equipment supplier enrollment. Here is what practices typically have to keep current.
The American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery certifies orthopedic surgeons and requires ongoing recertification to keep the credential active. Payers and hospitals verify ABOS status during enrollment and reappointment, so recertification deadlines belong on the same calendar as license renewals.
Surgeons need privileges at every hospital and ambulatory surgery center where they operate, and each facility runs its own application and reappointment cycle. A surgeon splitting cases between two hospitals and an ASC has three separate privileging files to keep current.
Workers' comp cases are a meaningful revenue source for many orthopedic practices, and panel enrollment is separate from commercial payer credentialing. Requirements vary by state and by carrier, so each panel needs its own application and follow-up trail.
Certificates of insurance must reflect the procedures a surgeon actually performs; coverage that omits spine or joint replacement work can hold up privileging and enrollment. Keep current COIs on file and track policy expiration dates like any other credential.
Orthopedic PAs and NPs who first-assist in surgery need their own licenses, certifications, and payer enrollments to bill for assist services, and hospitals credential them separately from the supervising surgeon. Their files carry the same expiration-tracking burden as the physicians'.
Practices that dispense braces or other durable medical equipment need DMEPOS supplier enrollment with Medicare, separate from physician enrollment. The supplier enrollment carries its own revalidation and standards, so it belongs in the credentialing workflow rather than a side spreadsheet.
Commercial payer enrollment typically takes 60 to 150 days from a complete application, and hospital and ASC privileging runs on separate parallel timelines at each facility. Practices that gather documents and submit everything before the surgeon's start date shorten the gap between hire and billable cases.
Yes. PAs and NPs who see patients or first-assist in surgery need their own state licenses, national certifications, payer enrollments, and facility credentialing. Most payers will not reimburse their services without individual enrollment, so their files need the same tracking as the surgeons'.
DMEPOS is Medicare's supplier enrollment for durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies. If your practice dispenses braces or other equipment and bills Medicare for it, you need DMEPOS supplier enrollment in addition to each physician's individual enrollment, and it comes with its own revalidation requirements.
Every enrollment is tracked per provider and payer with follow-up notes and due dates that trigger reminder emails. A daily admin digest surfaces what needs attention, and PDF reports show enrollments in progress whenever you need a snapshot.
