How to Get On Insurance Panels as A Psychologist Blacktown
Getting on an insurance
panel as a preferred provider, opens up your practice to patients and clients
who wish to pay for your services with insurance. However, getting
credentialed, as the process is known, can be tricky. Applications can run to
dozens of pages and some hopefuls spend hours chasing lost applications,
fighting enrollment rejections or sitting on hold with an insurance company
that's not accepting panel members at the time. Figuring out what you can offer
the insurance company, and not merely the patients, may make the process
easier.
1.
Visit the Council website. This online service allows Psychologist Blacktown and
other healthcare providers to file their credentials and complete one
application that most major insurance companies use in conjunction with their
own procedures.
2.
Call
the insurance company you
are interested in and ask to speak with Provider Relations. Ask the employee to
talk you through the application process make sure you understand what
information you need to supply and when. Ask about the insurance company's
unique clinical needs -- you stand a better chance of being appointed if you
specifically address those needs. Request an application.
3.
Check
the insurance company's pay rates and if accepted onto the panel, you must accept the
insurer's contracted hourly rates for Psychologist Castle Hill.
4.
Complete
your application and focus on the
benefits you can offer the insurance company, such as increasing efficiency and
reducing costs. Include details of any languages you speak and any experience
you have working with special groups such as children or deaf clients.
5. Send your application per the contact details on the form. Do this as
soon as possible. Provider Relations
typically reject an applicant who does not submit their application or deal
with queries in a timely manner.
Warning: Check the requirements carefully. Some insurance companies only accept licensed psychologists with two or more years' experience under their belts.
