Getting on Insurance Panels Is How Your Practice Gets Paid

Insurance panel enrollment is the process of becoming an in-network provider with insurance companies. Once enrolled, patients with that insurance can see you without paying out-of-pocket rates, which makes your practice accessible to a much larger patient base.

The application process involves detailed paperwork, specific requirements from each payor, and a lot of waiting. We handle all of it so you can focus on building your practice.

Every Part of the Panel Enrollment Process

Getting on to an insurance panel involves more than filling out a form. Here’s what we manage for you:

  • Identifying which insurance panels are open and accepting providers in your area
  • Completing and submitting enrollment applications to each payor
  • Gathering supporting documents required by each insurance company
  • Following up on application status until you receive a decision
  • Resolving any issues or requests for additional information from payors

Most Applications Stall Because Nobody Follows Up

Insurance companies receive hundreds of enrollment applications. Without consistent follow-up, your application can sit in a queue for months without movement. Many providers don’t find out there’s a problem until they check in weeks later, only to learn something was missing from the start.

At ASK, following up is built into everything we do. We check in regularly and push for responses so your application keeps moving forward.

How ASK Handles It

A Straightforward Process With Regular Communication

After our initial consultation, we review which payors make sense for your specialty and location. We complete the applications, attach the required documents, and submit everything. From that point, we follow up on a weekly or biweekly basis and keep you informed.

If a payor requests additional information or flags an issue, we address it right away and resubmit without delay.

Who This Is For

New and Established Providers Looking to Expand Their Network

If you’re opening a new practice, getting on insurance panels should be one of your first priorities. If you’re an existing provider looking to add new payors to your network, we can handle those applications alongside your current workload.

We work with providers of all specialties in all 50 states.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How many insurance panels should I apply to at once?

It depends on your specialty and location. We help you identify the most relevant payors, so you’re not wasting time on panels that don’t fit your practice.

What if a panel is closed to new providers?

Some panels have limited openings. We track this and can place you on waitlists or identify alternative payors in the meantime.

How long does panel enrollment take?

It varies by payor, anywhere from 30, 60 or 180 days. We stay on top of each application and flag any unusual delays.

Can you enroll me in Medicare and Medicaid as well?

Yes. Medicare and Medicaid enrollment is a separate process that we also handle. We can manage both alongside your commercial panel applications.
