Provider Credentialing Specialist

This is a remote position.

Rockstar is seeking an experienced Provider Credentialing Specialist to support U.S.-based healthcare practices on a full-time remote basis. This is a credentialing-first role built for professionals who understand the full provider enrollment lifecycle, from initial application through re-credentialing and payer follow-up, and who take pride in keeping processes accurate, organized, and moving forward without gaps.

In this role, you will manage provider credentialing and re-credentialing workflows, complete payer enrollments, maintain CAQH profiles, conduct sanctions checks, and serve as a reliable point of contact for providers and payers alike. Depending on the client, you may also provide light support to billing and accounts receivable functions as a secondary responsibility.

This role is ideal for someone who is detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and confident making follow-up calls to insurance payers: someone who doesn't let applications sit and knows exactly what to do when a payer goes quiet.

• Maintain organized, compliant, and audit-ready credentialing records at all times
  
• Stay current on payer credentialing requirements, enrollment changes, and industry updates

• Proactively follow up with insurance payers via phone and email to confirm receipt, check application status, and resolve outstanding items
  
• Coordinate with providers to ensure required documentation is submitted completely and on time
  
• Serve as a key point of contact for credentialing-related questions from providers, payers, and internal teams
  
• Escalate credentialing delays or payer issues to leadership when timelines are at risk
  
• Maintain clear records of all payer communications, follow-up dates, and credentialing decisions

• Ensure departing providers are properly removed from active payer rosters and internal trackers
  

Billing & Administrative Support (Where Applicable)

• Depending on the client, this role may include light support for billing and accounts receivable workflows as time allows, including claims follow-up, payer calls related to unpaid or denied claims, and general administrative coordination to keep revenue cycle operations moving.
