Emerald Star Clinician Individual Credentialing Consult with Kristin

Description

Kristin Carlton, LPN

Biography:

I have been involved not only in direct patient care but the administrative aspect for multiple different practice areas. This has allowed me to not only provide quality patient care but also making sure that the provider is able to follow guidelines for reimbursement. I assisted providers by making sure that benefits are obtained prior to the patient being seen, creating and receiving authorizations prior to care, and making sure there are no exclusions on patients policies for certain treatments. I have assisted with the onboarding of many providers including credentialing for commercial, state, and federal insurance plans.
