Newport Credentialing Solutions is a healthcare technology and services business that manages the time consuming process of physician enrollment and credentialing. With the average physician completing 15 to 20 applications per year at 1 to 2 hours per application, Newport frees the physician from the administrative tasks related to enrollment and credentialing and allows the physician focus on what is most important – providing superior clinical care.
Newport understands that technology coupled with domain experience equals improved results. Newport’s advanced credentialing workflow software enables Newport to proactively manage every aspect of the credentialing and expirables management process. Newport's credentialing workflow software enables them to centrally store all physician documentation, maintain secure individual subscriber accounts (authenticated and verified using the highest level of e-commerce protection), access the most up to date insurance company applications, and use mapping technology which maps required data elements to the appropriate fields across all insurance payer applications. The end result is decreased administrative work and increased revenue.
