No pitch. No contract pressure. Just credentialing that keeps your surgeons billable.
Orthopedic groups carry the heaviest credentialing load in medicine. Every surgeon needs hospital privileges, ASC rights, commercial panels, workers' comp networks, and often DMEPOS. HRG handles all of it, so your team can stay on patient care.
The cost of orthopedic credentialing delays adds up fast
An uncredentialed orthopedic surgeon is one of the most expensive gaps in healthcare. Joint and spine cases carry high dollar value, so each idle day is real lost revenue. Delays usually start at one of these failure points:
- A lapsed CAQH attestation that freezes pending applications
- Mismatched data across CAQH, NPPES, and Medicare PECOS
- Missing hospital case logs that stall privileging committees
- Sub-specialty gaps that delay spine and joint panels
- Workers' comp and DMEPOS tracks that no one owns
Any one of these can push a start date back by months.

What software-led credentialing platforms can't do
A platform can store dates and send reminders. It cannot call a payer, chase a stalled panel, or push a privileging committee. Orthopedic credentialing lives in that follow-up. Software submits. People close.
How HRG handles orthopedic credentialing services
A dedicated specialist owns your file and works it every week. The work covers the full orthopedic credentialing map:
- Provider enrollment with Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers
- Hospital and ASC privileging at every facility
- Workers' comp, auto or PIP, and DMEPOS enrollment
- CAQH setup, with re-attestation on a 30-day watch through CAQH ProView
- Payer contracting and reimbursement rate review
This is the same discipline behind HRG's broader medical credentialing and contracting work. For the full process, read our orthopedic insurance credentialing guide.
In-house vs platform vs HRG
| What matters | In-house | Platform | HRG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Payer follow-up | When time allows | Automated reminders | Weekly, by a person |
| Hospital and ASC privileging | Manual | Rarely supported | Handled end to end |
| Workers' comp and DMEPOS | Often missed | Out of scope | Included |
| Contract rate review | Rarely done | Not offered | Part of the work |
| Terms | Salary and turnover | Annual license | Hourly, month to month |
The process designed to help orthopedic providers become billable faster
- We gather documents and build or clean the CAQH profile.
- We file Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial applications together.
- We open hospital, ASC, workers' comp, and DMEPOS tracks in parallel.
- We follow up with every payer each week until approval.
- We track re-credentialing dates so nothing lapses later.
