THE PRACTICE

Illustrative Multi-Specialty Group — 15 Providers

15 providers
8 specialties
180+ credentials
Tracked across the group
60 CAQH cycles
Per year to manage
THE PROBLEM

Scattered spreadsheets and calendar reminders

A 15-provider multi-specialty group runs on a complex web of credentials — each physician carries their own medical license, DEA registration, state-controlled substance permit, board certifications, malpractice policy, NPI, and CAQH profile. For 15 providers, that added up to over 180 credentials across 8 different specialties.

The group's credentialing coordinator relied on a master spreadsheet supplemented by individual calendar reminders that providers set for themselves. CAQH attestation deadlines were scattered across different dates — each provider had their own 120-day cycle. DEA renewals came due at different times depending on when each provider originally registered.

"We had a spreadsheet, a shared calendar, and a wall of sticky notes," says the practice administrator. "Every week someone was scrambling to figure out what was expiring next. It wasn't a system — it was chaos with a filing cabinet."

Key risks before CredVault

  • • No unified view of all 180+ credentials
  • • CAQH attestation cycles tracked individually — frequently missed
  • • DEA renewals scattered across different months
  • • No automated alerts for upcoming expirations
  • • Heavy admin time spent on manual data gathering
  • • Two near-misses with payer enrollment lapses
THE OLD WAY

Spinning plates by the numbers

10 hrs
Per week on credentialing

Coordinator manually tracking all renewals and attestations

5+
Missed CAQH attestations

In the last 12 months requiring re-enrollment

3
DEA renewals missed

Over 2 years, caught before fines but caused supply disruptions

THE SOLUTION

One dashboard for the whole group

The credentialing coordinator set up all 15 providers in CredVault, imported existing credential data, and configured CAQH attestation cycles. The entire practice was live in under an hour.

Unified provider dashboard

All 15 providers and their 180+ credentials displayed in one place. Filter by provider, credential type, or expiration date.

CAQH attestation tracking

Each provider's 120-day attestation cycle tracked automatically. Reminders sent before every deadline.

DEA renewal alerts

Provider-specific DEA registration reminders at 60, 30, 14, and 7 days so renewal windows stay visible.

THE RESULTS

What changed after switching

0

60
CAQH cycles managed

Per year with automated tracking

100%
DEA renewal visibility

Every provider's renewal status visible before expiration

In this example workflow, a 15-provider group tracks CAQH attestations, DEA renewals, and payer documentation from one dashboard instead of maintaining separate spreadsheets by location or specialty.
