Credentialing support for MCMS members.
Astra Consultants is proud to partner with the Maricopa County Medical Society (MCMS) to provide physicians and medical practices with specialized support throughout the credentialing lifecycle.
Proudly supporting Arizona's physician community.
The Maricopa County Medical Society, serving physicians since 1892, has a longstanding history of supporting, connecting, and advocating for physicians throughout the Valley. Astra is proud to contribute to that legacy and support the continued advancement of Arizona's healthcare community.
Running a medical practice already comes with enough administrative responsibility. Credentialing shouldn't require physicians and practice administrators to spend hours tracking insurance applications, calling payers, managing portals, and remembering revalidation deadlines. That's where Astra comes in.
Support at every stage.
New Provider & Practice Credentialing
Opening a practice or adding a provider? We manage payer enrollment from application preparation and submission through follow-up and determination.
Ongoing Credentialing Maintenance
Already credentialed? We help keep provider and practice information current, including attestations, revalidations, expirations, directory updates, and provider changes.
Payer Contracting & Fee Schedule Review
We help practices better understand their payer relationships by reviewing contracts and fee schedules, researching participation issues, pursuing contracting opportunities, and supporting negotiations.
Credentialing problems aren't always straightforward.
A provider may be credentialed but linked to the wrong location. A payer directory may contain outdated information. An application may have stalled without a clear explanation. A contract may be missing. Or your practice may simply need a better system for managing ongoing credentialing requirements.
Start with a conversation about what's happening with your practice. We'll help identify the appropriate next steps and explain where Astra can assist.
Talk with Astra.
Whether you have one credentialing issue you can't seem to resolve, are adding a new provider, opening a practice, or want to hand off your ongoing credentialing workload, we'd be happy to learn more about your practice.
