Your Roadmap to Getting In-Network Faster: A Credentialing Journey


A colorful roadmap graphic shows a winding road leading to a clinic with a sign labeled "IN-NETWORK." Along the path are icons for documents, insurance logos (Aetna, BCBS, Optum), and calendar symbols, representing steps in the credentialing process. The top reads “Your Roadmap to Getting In-Network Faster,” and the bottom features the Sosa Practice Partners logo.


If you're a healthcare provider or clinic looking to get credentialed with insurance panels, you’ve probably realized it’s not a straight line—it’s a journey. And like any good road trip, you need a solid map, the right vehicle, and a trusted co-pilot.


At Sosa Practice Partners, we’ve helped providers across the country navigate the credentialing highway—and avoid the potholes that can delay payments, deny claims, or leave you out-of-network when patients need you most.

Let’s break down your credentialing journey step-by-step so you can get in-network faster and start getting paid for the care you provide.


Step 1: Set Your Destination

Goal: Get credentialed and contracted with the right insurance payors for your services.We help you identify which panels to apply for based on your specialty, location, and patient population—whether it’s Aetna, Medicaid, Optum, or your local Blue Cross plan.


Step 2: Gather Your Documents

Before you hit the road, you need your credentialing “passport”:

✅ CAQH profile (active and attested)

✅ Malpractice insurance

✅ State license(s)

✅ W-9

✅ CV and work history

✅ NPI registration

We audit your documents and forms for accuracy so you’re not sent back to square one due to minor errors.


Step 3: Submit the Applications

Once your documents are in order, we manage the submissions to each payor—including any unique forms or online portals.

This is where most providers stall. But with Sosa Practice Partners, we fast-track the process using direct contacts, payor checklists, and proven workflows.


Step 4: Follow-Up (Relentlessly)

Insurance companies don’t always move quickly. That’s why we conduct weekly follow-ups, log all correspondences, and escalate when needed. You won’t get lost in the system—we track every step for you.


Step 5: Contracting and Go-Live

Once approved, we help you review and sign contracts, verify your listing in directories, and confirm your effective date. We also set you up for billing and portal access—so you’re truly ready to go live.


Destination Reached: You're In-Network!

With Sosa Practice Partners as your co-pilot, your credentialing journey becomes smooth, fast, and stress-free. We don’t just get you there—we help you get paid.
