Navigating the Complexities of Allied Health Billing

Allied and ancillary providers face a completely different credentialing landscape than traditional medical specialties. Our team navigates third-party carve-out administrators, Medicare scope-of-practice restrictions, and closed alternative medicine panels so you can bill without delays.

Third-Party Carve-Out Networks

— Standard medical credentialing doesn't work here. Major payers outsource alternative medicine to strict third-party administrators. We expertly process your applications for American Specialty Health (ASH), Optum Physical Health, and TriWest.

Medicare Part B Restrictions

— Medicare has incredibly strict rules for ancillary providers (e.g., Chiropractors only reimbursed for active treatment of subluxations). We ensure your Medicare PECOS setup perfectly aligns with your specific Scope of Practice to prevent automated audits.

Multi-State Telehealth Paneling

— Dietitians and nutritionists are rapidly expanding into virtual care. We manage the complex web of cross-border credentialing to ensure you can legally bill commercial payers for telehealth sessions nationwide.

Closed Alternative Medicine Panels

— Physical medicine networks frequently claim their panels are "closed" to new chiropractors or acupuncturists. We deploy aggressive appeal strategies highlighting your unique practice modalities to break through geographic saturation limits.

Allied & Ancillary Credentialing FAQs

Common questions about our allied health credentialing services.

Do Registered Dietitians (RDNs) need to be credentialed to bill for telehealth?

Yes. To bill commercial insurance or Medicare for Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) via telehealth, you must be fully credentialed with the payer and often hold a valid license in the state where the patient resides.
No. Unlike MDs or DOs, Chiropractors cannot formally "opt out" of Medicare and enter into private contracts with Medicare beneficiaries for covered services (like spinal manipulation). You must be enrolled as a participating or non-participating provider.
ASH is a third-party administrator that many major health plans (like Cigna and Anthem) use to manage their chiropractic, acupuncture, and massage therapy networks. We handle the complex, separate ASH credentialing process for you.
Because many alternative medicine providers must go through carve-out networks (which add a layer of bureaucracy), standard timelines are 90-120 days. Our proactive follow-up process typically shortens this to 60-90 days.
