Top Insurance Companies to Be Credentialed With

September 25, 2019 Insurance Credentialing

What are the top insurance companies to be credentialed with?

It wasn’t long ago when practitioners considered credentialing to optional. You could start your own practice and derive profits from it without ever caring for credentialing. Plus, insurance companies weren’t even allowing certain medical practices like mental health clinics a place on their panels.

Fast forward to modern time, and things are not what they were just a couple of years ago. Credentialing has become crucial for medical practices to survive in an increasingly volatile and competitive industry.

Most American citizens today are covered by an insurance plan provided by some company or the other. If a budding practitioner fails to get credentialed with the insurance companies, then he will lose clients to his competitors.

Hence, having the knowledge of the top insurance credentialing companies is essential in a practitioner being able to thrive in the industry.

So let’s look at some of the top insurance companies to be credentialed within the USA.

So, there are a few ways to determine which top insurance companies in the USA are the biggest in terms of a client base. Their popularity can be due to the following factors:

  • Companies Goodwill
  • Lives Covered
  • Company revenue
  • Accessibility etc.

Based on the above factors, we were able to list down the following behemoths. If you are a provider looking to get credentialed, you might want to get in touch with them.

1) United Health Group

Our first name on the list is ranked 3rd on the 2019 fortune 500 lists. United Health Group is a for-profit healthcare company based in Minnesota. As of 2019, it is one of the largest healthcare insurance companies in the world with total revenue of $226 billion, along with 115 million customers. It is divided into four divisions that together provide health benefit plans and services for large national employers, to individuals age 50 and older, to serve state programs that care for the economically disadvantaged, and medically underserved.

2) Anthem 

Anthem INC is also one of the largest providers of health insurance in the United States. As of 2019, the company has over 40 million customers under its belt. It is one of the largest for-profit healthcare companies in the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association. Today it operates as Empire blue cross blue shield in the state of New York and as Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield in 10 other states.

3) Aetna

Aetna is recognized as one of the leading providers of health insurance in the United States. Aetna continues to grow stronger, with millions of users enjoying its medical plan. Hence many physicians and medical practitioners want to become participants in the Aetna healthcare network. The company’s extensive network includes over 22.1 million medical members, 12.7 million dental members, 13.1 million pharmacy benefits management members, 690,000 primary care doctors, 1,200,000 healthcare professionals, and 5700 hospitals. 

4) Humana

Humana Inc is a health insurance company based in Kentucky, Louisiana. Over the years, it is responsible for amassing over 13 million Americans into its healthcare program. With revenue of $41.3 billion, Humana was ranked 56 on the Fortune 500 list.

Now, Humana credentials and re-credentials all licensed independent practitioners including physicians, facilities and non-physicians who fall within its scope and authority.

5) Cigna

 Cigna is a popular American health service organization based in suburban Bloomfield, Connecticut, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Their insurance subsidiaries are major providers of mental, dental, accident, and life insurance to American citizens.

Cigna is known to provide Medicare and Medicaid programs to an individual in the US and some international markets. Hence many physicians and medical practitioners want to become participants in the Cigna healthcare network. To become a participant, however, healthcare services need to apply for Cigna Insurance Provider Credentialing.

According to Market Share, US News and World Report rated the following top insurance companies to be the most popular in the US.

  • United Health
  • Kaiser Foundation
  • WellPoint INC.
  • Aetna 
  • Human
  • Independent Blue Cross Group
  • Highmark
  • Cigna
  • Blue Shield of California
