Credentialing for Existing Client
Credentialing Process for Existing Client

If you are an existing Appletree client and you would like for Appletree to begin a new Credentialing Project for you, please follow the steps below.

This workflow is for all Credentialing Projects: GAP participants, billing plans that include credentialing services and standalone credentialing requests.

  • 1) New Project Request Form

    This needs to be completed and submitted to start the process. Please submit the request through the link.

    New Credentialing Project Form
  • 2) Project Assessment

    The Credentialing Team will contact the payer and diagnosis the scope of the project based on the existing NPI/EIN relationship with the payer.

    Please allow 2-3 Business Days

  • 3) Project Meeting

    Account Manager will set up a video call with you to review the following:

    * Scope of the project based on the the assessment.

    * Any supports or documentation that Appletree will need to complete the project

    * Cost and payment plan (if necessary) of the project

  • 4) Credentialing Project Contract/Acknowledgement

    For Credentialing Projects that have an additional cost outside of your initial Appletree contract/invoice, another contract will be drawn up and needs to be completed before the Project will begin.

    For Credentialing Projects that have no additional cost because the Projects are included in an existing program or service package, a Credentialing Project Acknowledgement will be created and needs to be completed before the Project will begin

    * The Project Contract/Acknowledgement will only be sent to you when the necessary supports and documentation have been received

  • Important Notes

    If you have not received a copy of your completed Credentialing Project/Acknowledgment via Docusign, we have not started your project yet.

    It is very important that Appletree has all requested supports/documents before the application is started as incomplete applications can lead to rejections that cause lengthy delays.

    If you have any questions on where your Request is after you have submtited your New Credentialing Project Form, please contact your Account Manager.
