1. Using Outdated Applications

Payors frequently update their forms—but many providers unknowingly use older versions found online. Submitting outdated applications can lead to automatic denials or major delays. Always verify you’re using the most current version directly from the payor’s site—or let a credentialing expert handle it for you.

2. Incomplete or Inconsistent Information

Missing dates, license details, or discrepancies between your NPI profile and what’s on the application can trigger rejections. Something as small as a mismatched address can stop your enrollment in its tracks. Double-check every field—or better yet, trust a team that catches these details every time.

3. Skipping CAQH Updates

Many payors pull from CAQH first. If your CAQH profile isn’t up to date—or not attested recently—your application can be stalled or denied without notice. This is one of the most common errors we see.

4. Missing Contact Follow-Up

Credentialing doesn’t end when you hit “submit.” Payors often reach out for clarification or documentation. If no one answers or responds in time, your application could be closed. You need a system in place to track and respond quickly.

5. Failing to Attach Required Documentation

W-9s, licenses, malpractice coverage, board certifications—forgetting even one required document is enough to delay your application. Many payors won’t tell you something’s missing—they’ll just hold it or reject it.
