Medical credentialing is the process by which healthcare providers are verified to ensure they meet the minimum qualifications required to participate in an insurance company's provider network. The credentialing process typically involves verifying a provider's education, training, work history, malpractice insurance coverage, and other qualifications.

Insurance credentialing is the process by which healthcare providers enroll in an insurance company's provider network, allowing them to bill the insurance company directly for services provided to patients who are members of that network. The credentialing process typically involves verifying a provider's qualifications and ensuring they meet the minimum requirements of the insurance company.

Credentialing is important because it allows healthcare providers to participate in insurance company provider networks, which are increasingly necessary for the success of healthcare practices big and small. Being in-network with insurance companies allows patients to use their insurance plans to pay for healthcare services, which can make it easier for them to access care and help practices attract more patients.
