Practicefirst performs credentialing services for our medical practice, Orthopedics Rhode Island. We have over 70 providers and an ambulatory surgery center. They understand the process and develop relationships with many of the carriers nationwide. The service and results have been excellent. Filings are done timely and follow up with the carriers is ongoing. We receive detailed reports weekly on where providers are in the credentialing process. Highly recommend their credentialing services.
