    Is this provider actually ready to bill?

    Provider readiness is the measurement of whether a provider has completed every requirement — credentialing, verification, documentation, privileging, and payer enrollment — needed to see patients and bill. Enter a provider's status to estimate the readiness score and find the blocker.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    What is a provider readiness score?

    A provider readiness score measures whether a provider has completed all the requirements needed to begin seeing patients and billing payers — credentialing, primary source verification, documentation, privileging, and payer enrollment. A higher score means the provider is closer to being active and billable.

    How is provider readiness calculated?

    Readiness is a weighted blend of the steps that gate activation: payer enrollment activation (the share of required enrollments approved), credentialing, primary source verification, documentation, privileging, and CAQH attestation currency. Payer enrollment carries the most weight because a provider cannot bill a payer until that payer's enrollment is active.

    Why isn't a credentialed provider always ready to bill?

    Credentialing verifies a provider's qualifications, but billing requires active payer enrollment. A provider can be fully credentialed and still be unable to bill a payer whose enrollment is still pending — which is why readiness and credentialing are measured separately.

    What is a good readiness score?

    A score of 100 means the provider has cleared every requirement and can bill all required payers. Below roughly 70, the provider typically has at least one hard blocker — most often pending payer enrollment — that prevents full billing even if clinical onboarding looks complete.

    Methodology

    How this is calculated

    • Payer enrollment activation (35%): the share of required payer enrollments that are approved and active. This carries the most weight because billing a payer requires its enrollment to be active.
    • Credentialing (20%), primary source verification (15%), documentation (10%): the readiness foundation that must clear before activation.
    • Privileging (10%): included only when required; when not required, its weight is redistributed across the other components so the score is never penalized for a step that does not apply.
    • CAQH attestation currency (10%): a lapsed attestation can stall multiple payer enrollments at once.

    This estimate is directional and uses a standard weighted readiness model. Actual activation depends on payer effective dates, contract terms, and organizational requirements.
