Verifying licenses, certifications, malpractice history, and payer enrollments across multiple states is tedious, error-prone, and often delayed.
In 2025, telehealth companies are leveraging automated credentialing workflow engines to fast-track compliance, reduce manual processing, and scale operations securely.
