Healthcare compliance software that keeps credentialing current.

In an Intelliworx survey of 214 healthcare organisations, one in four said credentialing delays cost them as much as $1 million a year. ExpiryEdge keeps track of provider credentials, training certificates, device calibrations and facility inspections. Reminders go to the clinician and their manager, and a surveyor's question takes one search. HIPAA-aware infrastructure, BAA available, 14-day free trial.

Quick answer

Healthcare compliance software keeps track of every dated obligation in a care organisation: provider credentialing and payer enrolment, clinical certifications such as BLS, ACLS and PALS, DEA and state licences, OIG and SAM exclusion screening, and medical-device calibration. ExpiryEdge files each item under its provider, device or facility with a timestamped history. It reminds the clinician and their manager, and pulls Joint Commission, CQC or DNV tracer evidence with one search. For new hires, you can request licence copies, DEA certificates and CVs through a document collection link that needs no account. If one file is wrong, only that document is requested again, so nobody restarts the whole intake.

What changes for your team

Three things healthcare needs that general compliance tools don't deliver

A generic tracker leaves gaps in credentialing and audit prep, and it leaves one person holding every reminder.

Credentialing without the 120-day cycle

According to Neolytix, a 120-day credentialing delay costs a physician about $122,000 in lost billing. ExpiryEdge tracks each payer enrolment, primary-source verification and re-credentialing date, so the cycle runs against a system rather than a clipboard.

Audit-ready for Joint Commission / CQC / DNV

When a surveyor asks for a credential, a training certificate or a calibration record, you find it with one search, whichever clinician, device or site it belongs to.

Reminders to the clinician AND the manager

An NMC PIN renewal reminder goes to the nurse and their line manager. BLS, ACLS and PALS expiries go to the clinician and the credentialing team, device calibration to facilities and biomed. No single inbox holds the only copy.

What you track

Tracked across every provider, device, and facility

Provider credentialing + payer enrolment

NPI, DEA, state licence per state

Board certification + re-credentialing (2–3 yr cycle)

AHA BLS / ACLS / PALS / NRP (2-yr expiry)

Annual TB / N95 fit-test / bloodborne pathogen training

OIG (LEIE) / SAM.gov / state Medicaid exclusion checks

DEA registration (3-yr) + state controlled-substance authority

Medical-device calibration + PM intervals

FDA UDI / recall cross-referencing

Compact / per-state licensure for travel nurses

What you get

Six capabilities built for the healthcare compliance stack

Credentialing + enrolment
The provider file, tracked against a system

NPI, DEA, a licence for each state, board certification, CV and training history, malpractice history, peer references and payer enrolment for each plan. The re-credentialing cycle (usually every 2 to 3 years) is scheduled for you. Sanction screening runs monthly against OIG LEIE, SAM.gov and state Medicaid lists, so an exclusion that appears mid-employment is caught at the next monthly check. To build a new physician's file, send them a document collection link; they do not create an account. If credentialing rejects one item, like an out-of-date licence copy, only that field reopens.

Primary-source verification dates tracked per provider

Multi-state physician licensure handled separately

Tracer-ready evidence
Any surveyor question answered in a single search

Surveyors use tracer methodology: they pick a patient, provider or device and follow the evidence backwards on the spot. Trouble starts when finding a record takes too long, even though it exists. ExpiryEdge files everything under its parent record with a timestamped history, so the answer is one search away.

Shared reminder ownership
Reminders fire to the clinician and the manager

AHA certifications last 2 years. Renewal alerts go to the clinician and the credentialing team at 90, 60 and 30 days. Calibration reminders go to facilities and biomed. If one person is on leave, the credential still gets renewed.

Frequently asked questions

Quite a lot, and the published numbers agree. In an Intelliworx survey of 214 organisations (1 to 9 December 2025), one in four said credentialing delays cost them as much as $1 million a year in billings. MGMA puts the time from submitting a provider application to final verification and approval at 90 to 180 days. According to Neolytix, a physician loses roughly $122,000 in personal billing over a 120-day delay. If a 200-provider group adds 4 physicians a year, that works out to about half a million dollars of revenue pushed back every year.

symplr and HealthStream are enterprise platforms. They cover credentialing, privileging, payer enrolment and competency tracking, and they are priced for hospitals and health systems. MedTrainer is a good mid-market choice if training and credentialing are all you need. ExpiryEdge sits in the same mid-market price band but covers more ground: provider credentialing, medical-device calibration, facility compliance and contract, vendor or insurance renewals in one place. You can run it next to a clinical-only tool, or use it to retire several single-purpose ones.

Yes. Every month ExpiryEdge checks your people against the OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE), SAM.gov and state Medicaid exclusion lists, and flags any match to the credentialing team straight away. CMS expects ongoing monitoring rather than a check once per credentialing cycle, so monthly screening is the default.

Anything that expires or needs refreshing. Common ones are AHA BLS, ACLS, PALS and NRP; state nursing licences (one record per state); board certification; DEA and state controlled-substance registrations; the annual TB screen and N95 fit test; OSHA bloodborne pathogen and HIPAA training; code-of-conduct attestations; mandatory in-service hours and any orientation your facility requires. Travel-nurse and locum agencies can track per-state endorsements and compact licences separately.

Surveyors use tracer methodology. They pick a patient, a provider or a device and follow the evidence backwards while you watch. You get into trouble when finding a record takes too long, even if it exists. ExpiryEdge files everything under its parent record (the provider, device or facility) with a timestamped history, so you answer each tracer question with one search instead of a trip to the filing cabinet.

Yes. Each facility, site or clinic keeps its own records and can be reviewed on its own. The organisation-wide dashboard adds them up: credentials expiring in 30, 60 or 90 days, overdue training and missed device PMs, with a drill-down for each site. It works for hospital systems, medical groups with several offices and home-health agencies working across state lines.

Most credentialing data sits outside the EMR anyway. You can bulk-load records from CSV, and connect HRIS platforms such as BambooHR, Workday or ADP through webhooks or the API so new hires and leavers flow in automatically. If you want a full EMR integration, we work it out with your IT team during setup.

Each device gets a record holding its PM interval, calibration certificate, FDA UDI, manufacturer, model, serial number, install date and warranty. Reminders go out ahead of every PM and calibration date. You can also check FDA recall feeds against your inventory to spot a device that has been recalled. Hospital biomed teams use it for clinical equipment, ASCs for surgical kit, and home-health agencies for durable medical equipment.

Yes. Send a document collection link asking for a licence copy, DEA certificate, CV or malpractice history, and the clinician completes it without signing up, logging in or installing an app. If credentialing rejects one item (an expired licence copy, say), only that field reopens. The clinician fixes the one thing instead of starting over.

Every credential current. Every certificate retrievable. Always tracer-ready.

How this guide was built

This guide comes from our work with healthcare operations teams in primary care, specialty practices and home care. It draws on public Joint Commission and CMS guidance, HRSA HPSA designations and the expiry patterns we see in ExpiryEdge customer accounts. We update it when the regulations or accepted practice change.
