Services

Open any service for the situations it fits.

Initial credentialing
CAQH build & attestation, Availity and payer-portal setup, file assembly, applications to up to 6 payers, follow-up through approval — 50% at signing, 50% at submission
$1,500 / providerWhen it fits ▾
Fits when:
  • You just got your NPI and need to be in-network before seeing your first insured patient.
  • You left a group and your enrollments stayed behind — everything must be re-established under your own practice.
  • You have been "waiting on the payer" for months with no idea where the application actually stands.
Additional payer application
Each payer beyond the six included
$200 / applicationWhen it fits ▾
Fits when:
  • Your patient base spans more plans than the core six — common near state lines or in Medicare Advantage-heavy areas.
  • A regional payer matters in your ZIP (our intake suggests them by state automatically).
Ongoing maintenance
CAQH re-attestations, expirables, revalidations, monthly roster review for groups — billing starts at your first approval
$75 / provider / moWhen it fits ▾
Fits when:
  • CAQH re-attestation lapses every ~120 days if nobody owns it — a stale profile silently stalls every pending application.
  • A missed Medicare revalidation deactivates billing entirely; a lapsed license or DEA on file does the same with commercial payers.
  • Group practices: providers join and leave — every change ripples across every payer record.
Primary source verification
License, education, work history, and board certification verified with the issuing sources
$150 / providerWhen it fits ▾
Fits when:
  • A hospital, facility, or payer asks for documented PSV evidence and you have none on file.
  • You want your file verification-ready before applications go out, so nothing bounces later.
Group onboarding
Practice-level setup: Tax ID / Type 2 NPI linkage, group payer records, roster build
$500 one-timeWhen it fits ▾
Fits when:
  • You are forming a practice: the entity needs its own Type 2 NPI, tied correctly to your EIN, before any group enrollment can start.
  • Providers will bill under the group — each needs their individual enrollment reassigned to it (Medicare 855R and payer equivalents).
Contract rate negotiation
Fee-schedule review and negotiation — fee due only on a successfully improved contract
$500 / contractWhen it fits ▾
Fits when:
  • A payer contract arrived and you were about to sign the first fee schedule they offered.
  • You have real volume with a payer and have never renegotiated — break-even on the fee is usually an uplift under 1%.

Rate monitoring add-on
Added to maintenance: rate monitoring, change alerts, renegotiation calendar — free with 2+ negotiated contracts
+$25 / provider / moWhen it fits ▾
Fits when:
  • Payers adjust fee schedules quietly — you find out months later on the EOBs.
  • Your contracts have renewal windows nobody is tracking; the renegotiation calendar catches them.
NPI procurement
Type 1 (individual) or Type 2 (organization) NPI application prepared and filed via NPPES, taxonomy set correctly, delivered and registry-verified
$100 / NPIWhen it fits ▾
Fits when:
  • You are a new practitioner and have never had an NPI — nothing in credentialing can start without it.
  • Your new practice entity needs its own Type 2 NPI tied to the EIN before any group enrollment.
  • The taxonomy code on an NPI application is cross-checked by every payer later — set wrong, it becomes a silent delay.
Tax ID (EIN) procurement
IRS SS-4 prepared and filed; EIN delivered — for newly forming practices
$150When it fits ▾
Fits when:
  • You are launching a new practice and need the EIN before the bank account, the Type 2 NPI, or any group enrollment.
Fingerprinting coordination
When an enrollment requires fingerprints: we identify the requirement, book the correct IdentoGO Live Scan appointment with the right service code, and track results to the agency
$75 / occurrenceWhen it fits ▾
Fits when:
  • A Medicaid or state program flags your enrollment for fingerprint-based screening and the requirement is unclear.
  • The wrong service code wastes the appointment — we book it right the first time, at the location nearest you.

How it works

1Structured intake — nothing arrives incomplete

About 15 minutes online. Your NPI is validated live against the CMS registry as you type; documents upload inline next to the fields they support; regional payers are suggested for your state.

2File build with exact-match discipline

Before anything is submitted, we audit your NPPES record and reconcile it against CAQH and every application — registry mismatches are the most common silent cause of credentialing delays, and most practices never learn that's what stalled them. Then: CAQH profile built and attested, verifications completed, applications prepared payer by payer.

3Submission & tracked follow-up — nothing goes silent

Every application becomes a tracked item in our operations system with an owner, a next follow-up date, and a full activity log. No submission sits untouched more than 14 days — payer development letters, committee cycles, and reapplication windows are calendared the day they appear. Check status anytime with your reference number: no portal, no password.

4Approval isn't the end — the watch cycle starts

Effective dates are recorded and your file goes onto the maintenance loop: CAQH re-attestation every ~120 days, license / DEA / malpractice expiration tracking, Medicare revalidation calendar, monthly federal exclusion screening. The things that quietly break credentialing are exactly the things the system never stops watching.

Most credentialing failures are silent: a stale attestation, a registry mismatch, a development letter nobody answered inside its 30-day window. We built our own operations system so nothing can go silent — every application has an owner, a next date, and an audit trail. That system is the service.

Your intake confirmation includes a reference number — live application status anytime at pecs.health/status, no account or password. Clients on maintenance receive a monthly summary of what was done and what is being watched.

Billing, stated plainly

Invoices arrive at named milestones — net-7, paid by ACH or card. Never a percentage of your collections. Work on the initial package begins once the signing invoice is paid.

Leaving is simple

Maintenance ends with 30 days' written notice. Your CAQH profile, portal registrations, and records are yours and stay with you — organized, not held hostage.
