When to Start? Yesterday.

Insurance credentialing can take 30 to 120+ days, depending on the carrier and state. Starting early ensures you don’t sit unpaid after signing a job offer. We recommend starting:

  • During your last semester - Prep that resume

  • When accepting an offer - Find out the insurances they take

  • As soon as you receive your state license number - Contact us!

  • Don’t have your license? We can help with that process too!
