Healthcare Compliance Software That Pays Back the Credentialing Cycle.
One in five hospitals loses more than $1M a year to credentialing delays. ExpiryEdge tracks every provider credential, every training certificate, every device calibration, every facility inspection - with reminders to clinicians AND managers, and tracer-ready evidence one search away.

Credentialing without the 120-day cycle
Physician credentialing typically takes four months and costs about $122k in lost billing per provider per cycle. ExpiryEdge tracks every payer enrolment, primary-source verification, and re-credentialing date so the cycle is measured against a system, not a clipboard.
Audit-ready for Joint Commission / CQC / DNV
Tracer audits expect evidence retrieved in under five minutes. Every credential, training certificate, and equipment calibration is one search away - across every clinician, every device, every site.
Reminders to the clinician AND the manager
NMC PIN renewal goes to the nurse plus the line manager. BLS / ACLS / PALS expiry to the clinician plus credentialing. Medical-device calibration to facilities plus biomed. Nobody is the sole reminder owner.
Six features built for the healthcare compliance stack.
Provider credentialing + payer enrolment
NPI, DEA, state licence per state, board certification, CV / education / training, malpractice history, peer references, payer enrolment per plan. Re-credentialing cycle (typically 2–3 years) scheduled automatically.
Clinical training compliance (BLS / ACLS / PALS / NRP)
AHA certifications expire every 2 years. Track per clinician with renewal alerts at 90 / 60 / 30 days. Annual TB / N95 fit-test / OSHA bloodborne pathogen training included.
Sanction screening (OIG / SAM / state Medicaid)
Monthly OIG List of Excluded Individuals / Entities (LEIE) checks plus SAM.gov and state-Medicaid exclusion lists. Continuous monitoring so an exclusion mid-employment is caught the day it lands, not at the next credentialing cycle.
DEA and state controlled-substance registrations
DEA registration renewals (every 3 years), state controlled-substance authorities (varies by state), CSOS digital certificates. State + federal dates tracked separately.
Medical-device calibration + Joint Commission tracers
Biomed / clinical engineering inventory with PM intervals, calibration certificates, FDA recall tracking, and tracer-ready audit history per device.
Joint Commission / CQC / DNV evidence export
Generate evidence packets per accreditation cycle: HR file per provider, training transcripts per clinician, equipment service history per device, exclusion-check records. Export to PDF or CSV in seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How much do provider credentialing delays actually cost a healthcare organisation?
Industry data is consistent: one in five hospitals reports more than $1 million in annual revenue lost to credentialing delays (Intelliworx / Merritt Hawkins survey), and the typical 120-day delay costs about $122,144 in lost personal billing per physician (Neolytix, citing BLS data). For a 200-provider group adding 4 new physicians a year, that is roughly half a million dollars a year in deferred revenue from credentialing friction alone.
How is ExpiryEdge different from symplr, MedTrainer, or HealthStream?
symplr and HealthStream are enterprise platforms - full credentialing + privileging + payer enrolment + competency tracking - typically priced for hospitals and health systems with budgets above $50,000 per year. MedTrainer is a strong mid-market alternative focused on training + credentialing. ExpiryEdge fits the same mid-market band but goes wider: provider credentialing PLUS medical-device calibration PLUS facility compliance PLUS contract / vendor / insurance renewals in one system. Most customers run ExpiryEdge alongside a clinical-only tool, or replace several point tools with it.
Does ExpiryEdge handle OIG and SAM exclusion checks?
Yes. We run monthly automated checks against the OIG List of Excluded Individuals / Entities (LEIE), SAM.gov, and state Medicaid exclusion lists. Any match is flagged immediately to the credentialing team. CMS expects continuous monitoring rather than once-per-cycle screening - that is the standard ExpiryEdge defaults to.
What clinical certifications can be tracked per clinician?
Anything with a renewal date or refresh interval: AHA BLS / ACLS / PALS / NRP, state nursing licensure (per state), board certification, DEA + state controlled-substance authorities, annual TB / N95 fit-test, OSHA bloodborne pathogen training, HIPAA training, code-of-conduct attestations, mandatory in-service hours, and any facility-specific orientation. For travel-nurse / locum agencies, per-state endorsements and compact licensure are tracked separately.
How does this help during a Joint Commission, CQC, or DNV survey?
Surveyors run tracer methodology - they pick a patient, a provider, or a device and trace evidence backward in real time. The audit fails when retrieval takes too long, not because the evidence does not exist. ExpiryEdge stores everything against the parent record (provider / device / facility) with timestamped history, so any tracer question is answered by a single search. Most customers report retrieval under 60 seconds end-to-end.
Can we track compliance across multiple facilities or care sites?
Yes. Each facility, site, or clinic has its own records and can be reviewed independently. The aggregated dashboard rolls up everything - total expiring credentials in 30 / 60 / 90 days, overdue training, lapsed device PMs - across the whole organisation, with drill-down per facility. Suitable for hospital systems, medical groups with multiple offices, and home-health agencies operating across multiple states.
Does ExpiryEdge integrate with our existing EMR / HRIS?
Most credentialing data lives outside the EMR by design. ExpiryEdge supports CSV import for bulk loads, plus webhook / API integration with common HRIS platforms (BambooHR, Workday, ADP) for new-hire and termination events. For full EMR integration, we work with your IT team during implementation.
What about medical-device calibration and FDA recall tracking?
Each device has a record with: PM interval, calibration certificate, FDA UDI, manufacturer, model, serial number, install date, warranty. Reminders fire ahead of every PM and calibration due date. FDA recall feeds can be cross-referenced against your inventory to catch any device on a recall list. Suitable for hospital biomed teams, ASC surgical equipment, and home-health durable medical equipment.
Every credential current. Every certificate retrievable. Always tracer-ready.
