Navigating the Medicare enrollment and revalidation process presents significant challenges for healthcare providers and organizations, with potential errors carrying serious consequences for credentialing, reimbursement, and overall practice operations. Mistakes in this complex process can trigger systematic issues including coding discrepancies, claim denials, patient satisfaction concerns, and even impacts on quality performance scores.
