isn't paid.
The credentialing company that stays until you get paid.
Credentialing and payer enrollment for independent practices. After the payer says yes, we stay on it until your first payment lands.
What's changing at your practice?
A new provider can't bill a plan until they're enrolled with it. We get their CAQH profile ready, apply to every payer you choose, and chase each application until the payer decides. Then we stay on it through payment setup.

The payer owns this clock. So we won't quote you an approval date.
Payer review usually takes four to six months. Anyone who promises a date is guessing. We'll tell you what's done, what's waiting, and who it's waiting on.
In-network is nice.
In the bank is better.
After a payer says yes, your deposits still have to be set up. Until they are, a provider can see patients and collect nothing. That usually takes about 30 more days.
What is waiting costing you?
Put in your own numbers. It's the money a provider earns while they wait to be paid.
Example numbers to start. Change them to your own; nothing is saved or sent.
Then we keep you paid.
CAQH reattestation, license and certification expirations, directory details. Miss one and payments can quietly stop. We remind you well before anything lapses.
"Care starts when a provider can be paid. That's why I built Lanyard, and why we don't stop at approval."
Common questions
What does Lanyard Health do?
Lanyard Health is a credentialing and payer enrollment company for independent medical and behavioral health practices. We prepare and submit provider applications, follow up with payers until they decide, and keep providers credentialed with reattestation and expiration tracking. After approval, we stay on each provider until the first payment arrives.
How long does provider credentialing take?
Payer enrollment usually takes four to six months, and most of that is the payer's review. After approval, payment setup (EFT, ERA and EDI enrollment) takes about 30 more days. We won't quote an exact approval date, because the payer controls that clock.
Why doesn't approval mean getting paid?
Approval means the payer accepted the provider into its network. Before claims pay, the practice still needs EFT for deposits, ERA for payment statements, EDI enrollment with its clearinghouse, and payer portal access. Until those are set up, a provider can see patients and collect nothing.
Do you handle payment setup after approval?
We stay on it. Today we track each step, chase it with the payer, and set up what we can by hand. A full payment setup service is being built now.
What's the difference between credentialing and payer enrollment?
Credentialing verifies a provider's education, licenses and work history. Payer enrollment is the application to join an insurance company's network so the provider can bill that plan. A provider usually needs both, with a separate enrollment for each payer.
Who is Lanyard Health for?
Independent practices without a credentialing department: behavioral health, primary care, specialty and therapy practices. Most come to us when something changes. They're opening, hiring a provider, starting to take insurance, or adding a payer they don't take yet.
Do you handle CAQH?
Yes. We pull provider details from CAQH ProView to fill applications, and we track reattestation so a provider's profile doesn't lapse. A lapsed CAQH profile can stall enrollments with payers that rely on it.
