Healthcare credentialing without the headache.
Credentialing, payer enrollment, ongoing maintenance, and contracting support for independent practices and medical groups.
Astra manages the administrative work behind payer participation, so your team can spend less time chasing applications, portals, attestations, and insurance reps, and more time running your practice.
Partnered with the Maricopa County Medical Society.
Astra is proud to partner with the Maricopa County Medical Society to support physicians throughout the credentialing lifecycle.
Support through every stage of your practice.
Credentialing doesn't end when an application is approved. Astra supports practices throughout the credentialing lifecycle, from establishing a new group and enrolling providers to maintaining payer relationships, correcting directory issues, completing revalidations, and managing payer contracts.

Credentialing shouldn't live on someone's sticky note.
Payer requirements, revalidations, portal attestations, licenses, directories, contracts, and outstanding applications all operate on different timelines. We bring those moving pieces into one organized credentialing process.
Hands-on support
You aren't handed a list of phone numbers and told to follow up. We communicate with payers, track outstanding items, and work through issues as they arise.
Organized tracking
Applications, effective dates, expirations, revalidations, outstanding issues, and payer information are tracked so your practice always has visibility into where things stand.
Built for independent practices
Our services are designed for practices that need experienced credentialing support without building an entire credentialing department internally.
Ongoing partnership
We can stay involved after enrollment is complete to help maintain your credentialing and payer relationships as your practice grows and changes.
A clear process, start to finish.
We handle the paperwork and the payers so your team doesn't have to.
Understand your practice
We review your providers, locations, payer participation, existing credentialing, and current challenges.
Organize & prioritize
We identify what needs to be submitted, corrected, followed up on, or maintained, and build a clear plan.
Handle the work
We prepare applications, work through payer portals, follow up with insurers, work to resolve outstanding issues, and track progress.
Keep it maintained
For ongoing clients, we continue monitoring credentialing requirements, expirations, revalidations, directories, and payer updates.
