Credentialing
Verifying and enrolling providers with payers so they can bill them.
In plain English
It includes licenses, enrollment and payer participation.
Why it matters
Un-enrolled providers produce denials no correction can fix.
A new provider isn't billed to a payer until participation is confirmed.

Common questions
Is MEDBIX an EHR?
No. MEDBIX is a revenue cycle and medical billing platform. It can take in billing-relevant data from EHRs, but it doesn't do clinical charting, prescriptions or labs.
Does the AI submit claims automatically?
No. AI agents suggest codes, explain scrub findings and propose denial fixes. A person on your team has to review and approve every claim before it goes to the clearinghouse.
Who can see our data?
Your billing company is the tenant. Practices under you are separated by permissions, and other billing companies can't see your data at all, because PostgreSQL row-level security enforces it.
Can a solo practice use it?
Yes. A solo practice onboards as its own tenant, with the provider or office manager as the tenant admin.
Which clearinghouse do you use?
Stedi, a modern JSON clearinghouse API, for eligibility (270/271), claims (837) and remittance (835).
Want to walk MEDBIX against your real claim mix?
