📋 Multi-state credentialing checklist:
- Active license in every state where you bill (or use IMLC / NLC where eligible)
- Payer credentialing with each payer, in each state
- Taxonomy codes that match your services in each state
- CAQH updated with every new license and location, and re-attested every 120 days
- Malpractice coverage with state riders that meet each state's minimum limits
- Separate Medicaid enrollment in each state
- DEA and state controlled substance registrations, where required
- Expiration alerts at 180, 90, and 60 days
- Quarterly roster audits (NPIs, taxonomy codes, addresses)
