Medical Billing for New Practices
Opening your own practice? We set up credentialing, payer enrollment and billing from day one, so the patients you see in month one turn into payments in month two.
The First 90 Days Decide Your Cash Flow
New practices rarely fail for lack of patients. They struggle because money comes in months later than planned. Credentialing that started too late, ERAs that were never set up, fee schedules that were never loaded, or claims sent to the wrong payer ID all delay the first payments.
AccMed RCM builds the billing side of your practice before you open: we enroll you with the payers you need, set up your clearinghouse and EHR billing rules, and then run your claims from the first visit.
Your launch checklist, handled
- Individual and group payer enrollment with Medicare, Medicaid and commercial plans
- CAQH profile setup and attestation
- ERA (835) and EFT enrollment so payments post electronically
- Fee schedule and payer contract setup in your practice management system
- Eligibility workflow for your front desk
- First-claim review before submission to catch setup mistakes

When should a new practice start credentialing?
As early as possible — ideally three to six months before you plan to see insured patients. Commercial payer credentialing commonly takes 60 to 120 days or longer, and Medicare and Medicaid enrollment have their own timelines. Starting late is the most common reason new practices see patients they cannot bill for.
What do I need before you can start enrollment?
Usually your individual NPI (Type 1), group NPI (Type 2) if you have one, tax ID and IRS letter, state license, DEA and board certification if applicable, malpractice insurance, practice address and a current CAQH profile. We send you a simple checklist on day one.
Can you set up our clearinghouse and EHR billing rules too?
Yes. We help set up payer IDs, ERA and EFT enrollment, fee schedules and claim rules in your practice management system so your first claims go out clean.
Do you work with practices that have not opened yet?
Yes. Many of our new-practice clients start with credentialing only, then move to full billing the month they begin seeing patients.
What happens to claims for patients seen before credentialing is approved?
It depends on the payer. Some allow retroactive effective dates, many do not. We track each application so you know which payers you can safely bill and when.
