Bomi Credentialing helps organize the payer-facing work that comes before claims can move cleanly: CAQH, payer applications, credentialing packets, attestations, effective dates, roster updates, and ongoing credential management.

Credentialing is available only to practices enrolled in Bomi Billing, including practices using Bomi EHR. We do not offer credentialing on its own.

Payer applications

CAQH, payer packets, practice details, W-9, EFT/ERA details, and required documentation.

Effective dates

Approval is not the same as billing readiness. Bomi tracks effective dates and handoff details.

Roster maintenance

Roster updates, demographic changes, attestations, and provider tracking as the practice grows.

Built for solo practices and growing groups in California

Start with the workflow that fits your practice today, then go deeper on Billing or Groups when you need the full operating model.

Insurance is local in California

Payer behavior, credentialing timelines, reimbursement expectations, roster rules, Medi-Cal managed-care workflows, and billing follow-up can vary by California market. Bomi helps map the insurance path where your clients are seen.

Commercial payer workflow

Benefit checks, claims, EOBs, denials, and payer follow-up for commercial payer workflows common to California therapy practices.

Therapists choose Bomi when they want to focus on care without the insurance headache

"I have had nothing but a positive experience working with Bomi. They are quick and easy to get ahold of, are top notch at problem solving and make my life so much easier. I don't even think about billing. Bomi has it handled. What a relief!"

Stephenie Austin-Brusatte

LCSW PLLC

"This is the first time owning my own practice. However, I have had some experience with navigating billing. I was actually SHOCKED to see how fast claims were getting paid out. From my previous experiences, other billing professionals told me weeks, maybe months. Bomi has been quick and effective."

Brianna Rossbach

MS, LCPC - Rossbach Counseling, PLLC

"Bomi has impressed me with how quickly claims are filed and paid. Their weekly A/R sweeps help me stay current on my end. Bomi is like a trusted in-house billing team. The process of opening my own practice was daunting, but Bomi was an integral part of creating a seamless process on the billing side."
