This is where you come in… The Credentialing & Contracting Coordinator plays a critical role in ensuring Nira Medical’s providers, locations, and services are fully credentialed, contracted, and revenue-ready across all payers. This role manages provider enrollment, contract updates, and payer-related operational tasks needed to support new hires, new locations, acquisitions, and organizational expansion. The Coordinator ensures timely provider enrollment, contract execution, and adherence to payer requirements while proactively resolving credentialing- or contracting-related issues that may impact revenue.

The Coordinator partners cross functionally with RCM, Operations, Billing, Corporate Development, and external payer partners to ensure compliance and support the organization’s evolving revenue cycle needs. Here’s what you’ll be doing… Provider Credentialing & Enrollment: This role ensures all providers are fully credentialed and enrolled in accordance with state, federal, and payer-specific regulations. Responsibilities include maintaining an accurate credentialing database, tracking expirations and renewals, and managing complete enrollment workflows with Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers. The Coordinator oversees CAQH maintenance, NPI and PECOS updates, and payer portal applications while monitoring enrollment timelines and following up with payers to prevent delays. All supporting documentation is kept current, organized, and accessible to internal teams who rely on enrollment status for revenue readiness.

The coordinator provides education to providers regarding reimbursement structures, contract terms, and credentialing expectations, ensuring that both clinical and operational stakeholders understand the impact of payer requirements on revenue and compliance. Revenue Cycle & Operational Collaboration: The Coordinator partners closely with RCM teams to ensure provider enrollment and credentialing processes do not disrupt cash flow or claim submission readiness. This includes identifying and resolving credentialing-related payment issues, supporting onboarding for new providers and practice locations, coordinating payer setup requirements with IT and EMR teams, and escalating enrollment risks when needed. The role plays a critical part in ensuring operational continuity and financial performance during provider or location transitions. Location, Address, and Operational Updates: This role manages all facility-level and operational changes that must be communicated to payers, including address updates, NPI/TIN linkages, Pay-To and Billing address changes, and the addition of new locations to existing contracts.
