Facility-side credentialing & provider identity
Stop chasing providers. Start owning the file.
Bip is the system of record your credentialing team runs on. Every credential is bound to a verified identity, and every request, document, and attestation lands in one provider file with a timestamped, tamper-evident trail behind it.

The verification gap
Credentialing stopped being something you complete. It became something you have to keep proving.
A process built to assemble a file every three years cannot prove what was true every thirty days. The re-typing, the stale PDFs, and the weeks spent waiting on a provider are symptoms. This is the cause.
Alleged fraud. 96 of the 324 defendants were licensed medical professionals.
Fraudulent nursing diplomas. The licenses that followed were real.
Of practices carry an active lapse right now. 78% go unnoticed for 60 days or more.
Average days a directory inaccuracy persists. The rule says 90.

Workstreams
The work your team already does, on one file.
Five workstreams, one provider record. Finishing one never means re-entering data for the next.
Provider onboarding
Open one request. The provider completes it on their phone, attests to what is current, and the data lands structured in your file. No PDF packet, no email thread, no re-typing.
62% complete · no staff time spent since the request opened
Credential file & documents
Every document attaches to the credential it evidences, not a shared folder. Expirations are read off the document itself and become dated signals before anything lapses.
Expirations read from the document · 3 signals queued
Payer enrollment
Your file fills the payer's portal. BipSubmit carries structured data into external applications so your team stops re-keying the same forty fields into every plan.
Fields filled from the file · 0 re-keyed by staff
Privileging
Upload a hospital's bylaws and Bip parses them into a delineation matrix. Privileges, signatures, and committee packets are assembled from the same record the rest of the file lives in.
Packet built from the file · tamper-evident signatures
Monitoring & recredentialing
License, sanction, and expiration state watched continuously. Recredentialing starts from a file that never went stale, so the cycle is a review instead of a rebuild.

BipSubmit · Chrome extension
Every portal, filled for you.
Payer portals will never have an API. So BipSubmit works where your team already does: in the browser, on the payer’s own form.
- Reads the provider’s file, not a saved autofill profile
- Works on any payer or facility portal, no integration required
- Flags fields the file cannot answer instead of guessing
- Writes the submission back to the file as a dated event
Field counts from a payer’s own practitioner application. Your mileage varies by payer.
Identity binding
The NPI is an identifier. It was never an authenticator.
Verification chains inherit trust. A credential built on a fraudulent foundation verifies cleanly.
Bip came out of identity and fraud, not credentialing services. How identity binding works →
“I spent a decade in identity, fraud and compliance at Equifax scale. Credentialing is an identity and trust problem wearing an administrative costume — everyone verifies the paperwork, and nobody verifies the person. We built Bip to fix the trust layer underneath the workflow, not just to make the old process faster.”
Provenance
A credentialing file is not a status. It is a chain of evidence.
Onboarding takes weeks and crosses SMS, portals, boards, and signatures. Bip records every one of those touches, with who, when, and from what source, in an append-only log you can hand to an auditor.
Credentialing request opened
Four missing items identified against the facility's requirement set. One request, not four emails.
Step through with the arrows or the keyboard. Sample file, real event model.
One record
Credentialing, privileging, and enrollment are not three problems.
They are three destinations for the same provider data. Everyone treats them as separate departments. They never were.
Attests once
Confirms their own record is current, on a date, from their phone.
One verified file
Identity-bound, with every change dated and sourced.
Same data, shared the way each destination needs it. That is the whole architecture.
Why teams keep it in-house
Outsourcing credentialing does not remove the work. It removes your view of it.
A CVO is the right answer for some teams. If yours has institutional knowledge worth keeping, this is the trade you are actually making.
