Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about UnitedHealthcare credentialing and enrollment

How long does the UnitedHealthcare credentialing process take?

The complete credentialing process typically takes 90-120 days from initial application submission to network activation. PhysioMantra’s expert support can help expedite this timeline by ensuring all documentation is complete and accurate from the start, potentially reducing wait times by 30-40%.

What are the costs associated with credentialing?

UnitedHealthcare does not charge providers for credentialing. However, you’ll need to maintain required credentials (licenses, certifications, insurance) which have their own associated costs. PhysioMantra offers affordable credentialing assistance services to streamline the process, with flexible payment plans available.

When do I need to re-credential with UnitedHealthcare?

Re-credentialing is typically required every three years. PhysioMantra provides automatic reminders 90 days before your expiration date and handles the entire re-credentialing process to ensure uninterrupted network participation and continuous revenue flow.

Can I practice while my application is being processed?

You can practice, but you cannot bill UnitedHealthcare or see their insured patients as an in-network provider until your credentialing and enrollment are complete and you’re officially activated in their network. Some providers arrange temporary out-of-network billing during this period.

What happens if my application is denied or delayed?

PhysioMantra works proactively to prevent denials by ensuring complete, accurate applications. If issues arise, our team immediately addresses them with UnitedHealthcare to resolve concerns and get your application back on track. We have a 98% approval success rate for properly documented applications.

Do I need separate credentialing for different UnitedHealthcare plans?

Once credentialed with UnitedHealthcare, you’re typically approved for most of their commercial plans in your service area. However, Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid, and some specialty networks may require additional steps, which PhysioMantra can handle simultaneously to maximize your network reach.

What is CAQH and do I need to maintain it?

CAQH (Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare) ProView is a centralized database that stores provider information. Yes, you must create and maintain a CAQH profile, and it must be re-attested every 120 days. PhysioMantra can set up your profile and provide reminders for attestation deadlines.

Can I credential with multiple insurance networks simultaneously?

Absolutely! PhysioMantra can manage credentialing with multiple insurance carriers at the same time, including UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and others. This parallel approach helps you build a comprehensive payer mix quickly and efficiently
