Get Credentialing Done Faster
Speed is one benefit clients come to enjoy when working with Primoris. The sooner a provider is enrolled, the faster they can see patients, which means swift billing. Primoris works with both delegated and non-delegated contracts. Delegated contracts result in faster provider health plan enrollment. Primoris has relationships with insurance companies such as Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare to offer delegated plan provider enrollment options.
The quoted statistic is that it can take up to 60-120 days on average to complete provider enrollment. However, with Primoris, the average time to complete provider enrollment is much shorter.
Faster provider enrollment times with Primoris include:
- The average time to complete provider enrollment with BCBS is 27 days±.
- The average time of provider enrollment with Aetna is 33 days±.
- The average time of provider enrollment with United is only 9 days±.
Let’s look at a conservative example of provider enrollment with Primoris and the new revenue opportunities it creates. In the examples below, family practice revenues are referenced. However, revenue generated from a specialist and consequential new revenue opportunities would be even higher due to a more efficient Primoris provider enrollment.
New revenue opportunities due to faster provider enrollment through Primoris
Example BCBS: New revenue opportunity of $78,540 with BCBS
-
- [(Industry low average enrollment time) – (Primoris current BCBS enrollment time)] x (Average Daily Family Practice Revenue‡)
- (60 days – 27 days) x (ADFPR‡ of $2,380) = $78,540
- If BCBS is 10% of the practice payer mix, this equates to $7,854 in potential new revenue generation for EACH provider through Primoris with BCBS.
Example Aetna: New revenue opportunity of $64,260 with Aetna
-
- [(Industry low average enrollment time) – (Primoris current Aetna enrollment time)] x (Average Daily Family Practice Revenue‡)
- (60 days – 33 days) x (ADFPR‡ of $2,380) = $64,260
- If Aetna is 5% of the practice payer mix, this equates to $3,213 in potential new revenue generation for EACH provider through Primoris with Aetna.
Example United: New revenue opportunity of $121,380 with United
-
- [(Industry low average enrollment time) – (Primoris current United enrollment time)] x (Average Daily Family Practice Revenue‡)
- (60 days – 9 days) x (ADFPR‡ of $2,380) = $121,380
- If Aetna is 5% of the practice payer mix, this equates to $6,069 in potential new revenue generation for EACH provider through Primoris with United.
± This provider enrollment time is based on internal research of the number of days from getting the last needed applicant item until the effective date. Aetna’s effective date through Primoris is the first of the following month after approval, and UnitedHealthcare is the Primoris effective date.
‡The Average Daily Family Practice Revenue of $2,380 is from AAFP.org research stating family practice revenue averages $50,000 a month or $600,000 annually and dividing this by the number of actual working days in a leap year of 252 ($600,000/252 = $2,380).
This is an estimate. A payor allocation of 10%, 5%, and 5% was assigned for BCBS, Aetna, and United. A higher total revenue opportunity could occur based on the actual payor mix.
In these three examples, looking at the above three carriers only, this equates to a new revenue opportunity of $17,136 for EACH provider enrolled through Primoris. The total revenue opportunity is much higher when considering the entire payer mix.
Delegated and Non delegated Provider Enrollment.
Primoris is just as effective in working with non-delegated healthplans and networks. Their highly experienced team of specialists includes expertise with non-delegated provider enrollment options such as BCBS, Community Care, and Medicare.
Many years of building relationships within these carriers enable providers to begin seeing patients and begin billing as quickly as possible. Working with Primoris for delegated and non-delegated provider enrollment yields a bounty of benefits that cannot be ignored.
How Primoris Can Help
Outsourcing the provider enrollment process eliminates delayed payments to providers and has a higher probability of raising revenue, as discussed above. Employing a highly effective provider enrollment team can result in numerous benefits, including streamlined budgeting and cheaper access to experts.
