White paper

The Credentialing Gap

What a new provider's first 90 days cost when enrollment runs late, the Medicare and state rules that set the effective date, and a 120 day onboarding plan with a worksheet.

10 pagesPlain language, no jargon
15 primary sourcesEvery figure dated and linked
2026 editionUpdated when the rules change

What is inside

  • Medicare processing timeframes and the effective date rule
  • Commercial credentialing: where the months go
  • Eight states that put a clock on the plan, with statutes
  • The eight places applications stall, and the fix for each
  • The cost of the gap worksheet and the 120 day onboarding plan

Every paper in the WeBill Health library is written the same way: primary sources only for rules and numbers, every figure dated, a table wherever the rule varies by state or payer, and a worksheet or checklist at the end you can run on your own claims the same day.

Third party figures are quoted as published and are never mixed with WeBill Health's own metrics. Nothing in a paper is legal or payer specific advice. Confirm every deadline against your own contracts.
