Role Summary 

Symmetry Anesthesia is hiring an experienced Credentialing Specialist to own end-to-end provider credentialing and privileging for anesthesiologists and CRNAs across multi-site hospital and ASC programs. This role is hands-on: building clean files, driving credentialing deadlines, coordinating hospital privileges, managing recredentialing, and proactively removing barriers to start dates and revenue capture. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Provider credentialing & enrollment (core) 
• Manage end-to-end credentialing for physicians and CRNAs, including primary source verification and complete file assembly. 
• Coordinate facility privileging and medical staff onboarding requirements (applications, verifications, committee cycles, supporting documents). 
• Own recredentialing / reappointment calendars; ensure zero lapse in participation or privileges. 
• Roster management & participation maintenance 
• Maintain accurate provider demographic, licensure, DEA, board, malpractice, and privileges data across internal platforms and external portals. 
• Partner with Revenue Cycle/Billing to resolve credentialing-related claim denials and “not credentialed/participating” issues. 
• Operational excellence & audit readiness 
• Maintain credentialing documentation to meet internal policy, payor requirements, and facility standards. 
• Build and improve SOPs, checklists, and templates; ensure consistent, repeatable processes across sites. 
• Prepare reporting (weekly dashboards) on pipeline status, risks, and start-date readiness. 
• Stakeholder communication 
• Serve as the day-to-day point of contact for providers, facilities, and internal leaders. 
• Communicate clearly on timeline, missing items, risks, and escalation needs (without surprises). 

Qualifications 

• Associates degree or equivalent experience in healthcare administration, business, or related field 
• 2–5+ years of credentialing experience, preferably in anesthesia or multi-specialty medical group settings 
• Demonstrated expertise in hospital privileging, payer enrollment, and licensure requirements 
• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and meet strict deadlines 
• Exceptional organizational skills, communication, and detail-oriented skills 

• 2–5+ years of healthcare provider credentialing experience (physicians strongly preferred; anesthesia is a plus). 
• Strong attention to detail; ability to manage high volume with tight deadlines and minimal supervision. 
• Proficiency in credentialing software (e.g., MD-Staff, symplr, Modio, etc.) for document management, proactive tracking, and status reporting.  
• Comfort working remotely with high accountability and responsiveness. 

Preferred Qualifications  

• Certified Provider Credentialing Specialist (CPCS) or Certified Professional Medical Services Management (CPMSM) preferred (or actively pursuing). 
• Experience supporting multi-site medical groups and coordinating with hospital medical staff offices (MSOs).  

Key Competencies 

• Attention to detail and accuracy in data handling 
• Strong organizational and project management skills 
• Clear, professional, and timely communication with internal and external stakeholders 
• Understanding of regulatory requirements and compliance standards 
• Solution-oriented and process improvement mindset
