Credentialing · à la carte

Credentialing that stays visible after submission.

Application preparation is only the opening move. Grasshopper prepares and submits, attests CAQH, follows each payer through determination, logs every contact, and verifies the effective date—while stating plainly that the payer controls timing and acceptance.

Typical public range90–150 days

The work after the form

Four responsibilities carry each payer record to a clear close.

Credentialing is sold per payer or as the published bundle. The service commitment concerns accurate administrative execution and visible follow-through—not acceptance, reimbursement, or a guaranteed clock.

  1. 01

    Prepare

    Application inputs become a submission-ready record.

    The practice remains responsible for complete and accurate source information.
  2. 02

    Submit

    The payer application and CAQH attestation move into the review queue.

    Submission is an activity milestone, not an approval promise.
  3. 03

    Follow through

    Every payer contact is logged until determination.

    Open applications receive the published weekly follow-up and status-note commitment.
  4. 04

    Verify

    Determination and effective date are checked and made visible.

    Grasshopper verifies what the payer communicates; it does not control the payer’s decision.

Choose the right breadth of work

Credentialing-only is not a smaller Practice Launch.

The two offers share payer work, but they solve different buying situations. Start with the whole operating runway only when the rest of the practice also needs to be built.

Before the first application

Credentialing questions.

These answers separate what Grasshopper can execute from what only the payer can decide.

Credentialing typically runs 90–150 days, but the payer controls the timeline. Grasshopper does not guarantee panel acceptance or a completion date.

Application preparation and submission, CAQH attestation, logged follow-up until determination, and effective-date verification are included.

It covers six payer-panel credentialing engagements for a flat $1,750 fee. It remains credentialing-only work, not a complete practice launch.

Yes. Follow-up continues until the payer issues a determination. Every payer contact is logged, with a weekly status note while the application remains open.

Yes. CAQH maintenance is available for $45 per month. Access, attestation responsibilities, and the maintenance scope are confirmed in the written agreement.

Re-credentialing is $195 per payer.

No. Acceptance, panel availability, reimbursement, and payer-controlled timing are not guaranteed outcomes.

Choose Practice Launch when you need the broader runway: entity-step coordination, systems setup, go-live work, first-claim verification, and credentialing for up to 5 payer panels. Credentialing-only work is for a narrower payer application need.

Bring the payer list. Leave the guarantees out.

Confirm whether you need payer work—or the whole launch runway.
