How Credentialing Costs Break Down
In-house credentialing: $90,000–$145,000/year (salary + benefits + software). Each denied application adds $10,000–$30,000 in delayed revenue. Each missed re-credentialing deadline adds $30,000–$90,000 in network termination losses. ProEnrollment managed service: $3,600–$8,400/year for solo practices. Group practices pay per-provider pricing. Related: full cost comparison | timeline calculator.
How to Read Your Results
The calculator compares three cost structures: in-house (salary + benefits + software, $90,000–$145,000/year), freelance (per-application fees, $8,000–$24,000 for typical initial enrollment scope), and managed service (flat per-provider, $3,600–$8,400/year for solo practices). But the larger number is usually revenue timing: each month of credentialing delay defers your full insurance revenue for that month. A physician projecting $30,000/month who credentials 60 days faster recovers $60,000 — typically dwarfing the fee difference between options.
The Inputs That Move Your Number Most
Provider count (per-provider economics improve with groups), state count (each state adds Medicaid and state-plan applications), specialty (behavioral health adds the MBHO layer; agencies add organizational enrollment), and payer breadth (primary care needs 10–15 contracts; subspecialists may need 6–8).
