Licensing & Credentialing Specialist

peregrinehealthcorporate · Nashville, TN · Nashville, Tennessee, United States

Employment Type: Full-time, Salary Reports To: Designated Market Operations Leader  Role Summary  Peregrine Health is hiring a Licensing and Credentialing Specialist to get its behavioral health providers licensed in the states where they practice and credentialed at the partner health centers where they see patients. Peregrine employs psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, licensed clinical social workers, and licensed professional counselors delivering care across multiple states.  On the licensing side, this role prepares and submits state license applications and renewals, tracks them through issuance, and resolves whatever the board comes back asking for. On the credentialing side, this role collects the full document set from each provider, verifies the file is complete and accurate for that provider type and state, submits it to the appropriate receiving party, and tracks it through to confirmation. In both cases, the role keeps every license, certification, and coverage document current before it lapses.  The right person is relentless about follow-up. Most licensing and credentialing delays come from a missing document a provider has not sent or a board request nobody answered. You will spend a significant part of your week chasing outstanding items and closing those gaps before they affect a start date.  Strategic Importance  A provider who is not licensed and credentialed cannot see patients. Every week of delay is a week of lost clinical capacity, delayed revenue, and a partner site waiting on coverage it was promised.  Peregrine is hiring providers across multiple states and partner organizations. Every state board has its own application, timeline, and quirks, and every partner has its own document requirements. Volume is increasing and none of it is uniform. This role exists to make licensing and credentialing predictable instead of a scramble tied to individual start dates.  Key Responsibilities  Provider Information Intake: Collect and maintain personal, contact, and professional information for each provider, including NPI, CAQH credentials, Medicare and Medicaid numbers, employment history with dates, education history, and documented explanations for any gaps.  State Licensure Applications: Prepare and submit initial license and endorsement applications to state boards for nurse practitioners, clinical social workers, and professional counselors, and track each application through issuance.  Board Correspondence: Respond to state board requests, deficiency notices, and verification requirements, and resolve outstanding items without waiting for a follow-up from the board.  Licensure Support Requirements: Coordinate the supporting steps each state requires, including primary source verifications, supervision records for endorsement, fingerprinting and background checks, jurisprudence exams, and continuing education documentation.  License Renewals: Track renewal deadlines and continuing education requirements for every provider and every active state license, and complete renewals before expiration.  Multi-State Licensure: Maintain working knowledge of licensure requirements, timelines, and compact eligibility for each state Peregrine operates in, and apply the correct requirements to
