YES! We love helping new startups and understand how important it is to get everything set up correctly from the very beginning. That’s why we offer customized packages designed specifically for new healthcare practices and providers.
We know the process can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. We’ve helped many businesses in the same position successfully launch and grow. As a small business ourselves, we personally understand the challenges, questions, and excitement that come with starting something new. Our goal is to make the credentialing and enrollment process as smooth, stress-free, and efficient as possible so you can focus on caring for your patients and growing your practice.
Absolutely! While Karey also owns a medical billing company, Gateway Credentialing is happy to provide standalone credentialing services for medical billers and medical billing organizations.
We understand how important your client relationships are, and you can feel confident knowing your business is protected. Karey is willing to sign a non-compete agreement for added peace of mind. As fellow small business owners, we understand the hard work it takes to build and maintain client trust, and we respect the importance of protecting those relationships.
Our goal is to work alongside your team as a trusted credentialing partner — helping streamline provider enrollment, insurance credentialing, CAQH management, Medicare and Medicaid enrollment, and recredentialing services — while allowing you to continue focusing on your clients and growing your business.
We understand that many providers want pricing information upfront, and we’re happy to discuss general package options. However, the best way for us to provide accurate pricing is through a consultation, where we can learn more about your practice, specialty, and credentialing goals. Every provider’s situation is unique, which is why we offer flexible service packages tailored to your needs.
One thing we consistently hear from our clients is that our pricing is fair, honest, and affordable — especially considering the personalized support and experience we provide throughout the credentialing process.
To get started, we require a small deposit upfront, with the remaining balance paid as insurance payers process, approve, and complete your applications. If a payer panel is closed and we are unable to successfully enroll you, we only retain a $50.00 administrative fee to cover the time and effort spent preparing and submitting the application. Our goal is to provide a low-risk, provider-friendly process while delivering reliable and responsive credentialing support every step of the way.
Starting a new healthcare practice can feel overwhelming, but Gateway Credentialing is here to help guide you through the process from the very beginning. Our affordable startup consultation package is designed to help new providers and practice owners build a strong foundation for long-term success.
Whether you are opening a solo practice, group practice, behavioral health office, or telehealth business, we provide personalized support tailored to your unique needs. Our goal is to simplify the startup process so you can focus on growing your practice and caring for your patients.
Absolutely! At Gateway Credentialing, there is no minimum requirement for the number of insurance payers you choose to credential with. Whether you need assistance with just one insurance company or multiple payer enrollments, we’re happy to help.
At Gateway Credentialing LLC, we bring nearly 30 years of healthcare industry experience to the providers and practices we support. Our founder, Karey Collins, has built her career through hands-on experience in multiple areas of healthcare administration, insurance operations, medical billing, and provider credentialing.
Karey began her healthcare career working in private practice as a medical assistant before moving into the insurance industry with a major health insurance company. There, she gained extensive experience in claims processing, provider relations, appeals, and healthcare operations. Over the years, she has worked closely with providers and office staff to help resolve billing and enrollment challenges while developing a deep understanding of the credentialing process from both the provider and payer perspective.
In addition to owning and operating a successful small business for more than 20 years, Karey has extensive experience credentialing providers with most major commercial insurance payers, as well as Medicare and Medicaid enrollment programs.
Karey also currently serves as a Credentialing Manager for a state Department of Health, where she oversees credentialing processes for state and local health departments. This experience provides valuable insight into compliance standards, provider enrollment requirements, and healthcare regulatory processes at both the state and federal levels.
Our combination of real-world provider experience, payer-side knowledge, and healthcare administration expertise allows Gateway Credentialing to provide knowledgeable, reliable, and personalized credentialing support for healthcare professionals nationwide.
Absolutely. While we have not yet worked in every state, the majority of major insurance payers and credentialing processes are consistent nationwide. Our experience allows us to effectively support providers across the United States with their credentialing and enrollment needs.

At Gateway Credentialing LLC, our vision is to be the leading medical credentialing firm in the industry, providing innovative solutions and unparalleled service to our clients.
With more than 25 years of healthcare industry experience, Gateway Credentialing founder Karey Collins has built her career around helping healthcare providers navigate the complex world of medical billing, insurance enrollment, and provider credentialing services.
Karey began her career after completing specialized training as a Certified Medical Assistant at a respected trade school, where she gained hands-on experience in front and back office operations, phlebotomy, medical billing, and patient care administration. After briefly working as a medical assistant, she joined Anthem Blue Cross, where her passion and expertise quickly advanced her career.
Beginning in the call center, Karey moved into roles as a claims processor, appeals specialist, and eventually a job trainer. During her time there, she worked closely with programmers and leadership teams to help transition the company from an outdated automated phone system to a modern IVR platform. She played a key role in system testing, implementation, and employee training for both new and existing staff.
What truly set Karey apart was her dedication to helping healthcare providers successfully resolve claim issues and receive timely reimbursement. Providers frequently relied on her knowledge and support, often contacting her directly for assistance with difficult billing and insurance matters. Through these experiences, Karey developed an in-depth understanding of the operational and financial challenges medical practices face every day.
Karey is also the owner of KC Medical Billing, which may be referenced in her reviews or on Yelp. Medical billing was originally our primary service, and as we recognized the growing need for provider credentialing support, we expanded our services to include comprehensive credentialing solutions for healthcare providers and practices.
That firsthand experience inspired Karey to launch Gateway Credentialing — a company focused on delivering reliable, personalized support in:
Today, Karey continues to help physicians, nurse practitioners, therapists, behavioral health providers, and healthcare organizations simplify the credentialing process, reduce delays, and focus more time on patient care. Her mission is to provide responsive, knowledgeable service while building long-term partnerships with healthcare providers nationwide.
