Trusted Medical Credentialing Services
Apple Billing and Credentialing (ABC) provides comprehensive medical credentialing for all healthcare providers eligible for Medicare, Medicaid, or commercial insurance credentialing.
The healthcare provider that chooses our medical credentialing services will have a dedicated coordinator who will ensure that all necessary documentation is collected and processed in accordance with each payer.
Healthcare credentialing services enable providers to utilize the patient’s insurance to pay for medical services performed.
Hence, healthcare providers need to be credentialed with most payers, depending on the geographical area. Lack of medical credentials leads to patients leaving for other healthcare providers.

How long does it take to enroll in Medicare?
The timeline for Medicare approval can vary depending on documentation and application volume. During Medicare provider enrollment, licensing records, practice details, and credential verification are reviewed before a provider is approved to submit claims.
