Start dates drive the timeline
Enrollment is scheduled backward from a provider’s first patient day.
Credentialing & Payer Enrollment
Enrollment, contracting, and recredentialing run as a revenue timeline, not a paperwork queue.
Our Point of View
A provider who is not enrolled cannot bill. Weeks lost to incomplete applications, slow payer responses, or an expired credential turn into claims you cannot submit.
AZ Integrated Health Solutions (AZI) runs credentialing as a scheduled operation with named owners and due dates, tied to your billing calendar so enrollment finishes before a provider starts seeing patients.
Enrollment is scheduled backward from a provider’s first patient day.
Every payer file has a named owner, so nothing sits waiting on someone else.
Licenses, DEA, and recredentialing dates are monitored before they lapse.

Individual providers
Credentialing is the most common way an individual provider starts with AZI, and it does not require a broader management engagement.
Engage AZI for credentialing on its own, or add revenue cycle, reporting, staffing, marketing, or technology later through an integrated management engagement.

A newly formed healthcare organization needed its providers credentialed with payers and the administrative infrastructure to begin delivering services. No payer relationships, no enrollment history, and no back office in place.
Provided entity-development and implementation support: provider documentation, payer enrollment, application monitoring, and follow-up ran through one team that tracked every application until it cleared, alongside clearinghouse enrollment and setup, human resources and payroll systems, and a company handbook developed in collaboration with the organization’s legal team.
Providers were credentialed within six to eight months while billing, payroll, and administrative operations were stood up in parallel. The organization moved into active operations and has since added service lines with AZI’s support.
