Payer Enrollment Services That Get You In-Network and Under Contract
Getting approved by a payer and getting paid by that payer are two separate steps, and a lot of practices only discover the difference after their first claim denies. Credentialing verifies who a provider is. Contracting is the separate agreement that sets the fee schedule, the effective date, and the terms that actually make a claim payable in-network. CureBytes manages both halves of payer enrollment, commercial applications, Medicaid and managed Medicaid enrollment, and the contract itself, so a provider is not just approved on paper but actually billable at a rate worth accepting.
BUILT FOR PRACTICE
Built for Practices That Cannot Afford a Silent Payer Queue
A standard commercial payer application sitting in a general credentialing queue commonly takes 60 to 90 days, and that clock only starts moving faster if someone is actually calling the payer instead of waiting for a portal status update. Delegated credentialing arrangements can compress that timeline to 14 to 30 days, but only where the delegation agreement already exists, and a closed panel can stall an application indefinitely no matter how complete the paperwork is. Our team knows which payers in your area currently have open panels, which ones require a network adequacy justification to consider a new provider, and how to keep a file moving instead of sitting untouched between status checks.
New commercial payer applications and network requests
State Medicaid and managed Medicaid enrollment
Contract and fee schedule review before you sign
Proactive follow-up on every payer's own schedule, not just when something goes wrong
Closed-panel and network adequacy appeals
Effective date and contract confirmation tracking
Being approved by a payer means nothing if the contract behind it never gets executed. We stay on every application until both halves are done.

NEW PAYER
New Payer Applications and Network Requests
Every commercial payer has its own application, its own portal, and its own idea of what a complete submission looks like. We prepare and submit each application to match that specific payer’s requirements, pull the correct data from your CAQH profile, and open the network request the right way the first time instead of triggering an avoidable return.

FEE SCHEDULE AND CONTRACT NEGOTIATION
Fee Schedule and Contract Negotiation Support
A credentialing approval is not the same as a signed contract, and the terms in that contract, the fee schedule, the covered products, the effective date, determine what the approval is actually worth. We review every contract before you sign it, flag terms worth pushing back on, and confirm the effective date in writing so there is no ambiguity about when billing can start.

MEDICAID & MANAGED MEDICAID
State Medicaid and Managed Medicaid Enrollment
State Medicaid programs and their managed care organizations each run their own enrollment process, separate from both PECOS and commercial payer applications, and the requirements can vary meaningfully from one state to the next. We manage Medicaid and managed Medicaid enrollment alongside your commercial applications, so a multi-state practice is not left tracking a completely different process on its own.

FOLLOW UP
Proactive Follow-Up Until Confirmation Actually Arrives
Every new practice location generally has to be reported to CMS as a change of information within 30 days, and a multi-location expansion often means several overlapping PECOS submissions at once. We manage enrollment and change reporting across every location and every provider in the group, so an expansion does not quietly stall Medicare billing at the new site while the rest of the practice moves on

Letting CureBytes Handle It
A transparent, side-by-side look at what a CAQH profile actually costs in time and risk,
whichever way you manage it.
Payer Enrollment Built for the Way Your Practice
Actually Operates
New Practices Building a Payer Panel From Scratch
We prioritize and submit applications to the payers that matter most for your patient population first, rather than treating every payer as equally urgent.
Practices Adding a New Payer or Plan
We manage the single new application and contract without disrupting the payer relationships you already have in place
Multi-Provider Groups Needing Consistent Contracts
We keep contract terms and effective dates consistent across every provider in the group instead of letting each one drift on its own timeline.
Practices Facing a Closed Panel or Stalled Application
We build the network adequacy case a closed panel requires and keep pushing an application that has gone quiet instead of letting it sit.
Pricing
Transparent Payer Enrollment Pricing. No Guesswork.
Payer enrollment is priced as a flat fee per payer, or bundled into your broader credentialing and billing services. You will know the cost before a single application is filed, with no separate charge for the follow-up work it takes to actually get one approved.
Team
How Our Team Gets Practices Approved and Paid
Every practice that comes to us with a payer enrollment problem is usually stuck at a different point, a closed panel, a contract that was never reviewed, or an application no one has followed up on in weeks. We build a plan around the specific blockage instead of running every practice through the same checklist.
