Laboratory Credentialing Services
How Does Laboratory Credentialing Work?
Clinical laboratory credentialing requires CLIA certification as a prerequisite, followed by Medicare enrollment (often via CMS-855B) and commercial payer contracting. Labs face documentation and inspection requirements physicians don't, making the process distinct.
CLIA Comes First
No payer will enroll a lab without the appropriate CLIA certificate (waiver, PPM, or full certificate of compliance/accreditation) matching the test complexity performed. ProEnrollment coordinates CLIA status with payer enrollment so applications aren't rejected for missing certification.
Medicare and Commercial Lab Enrollment
Labs enroll with Medicare and negotiate commercial contracts that often involve fee schedules specific to lab codes. We manage the full path — CLIA verification, Medicare enrollment, and commercial payer contracting — with knowledge of lab-specific requirements.
