The Provider Enrollment Glossary is a powerful tool developed by NAMSS to enhance your understanding of key terms related to provider enrollment practice.  As defined in the Tomorrow’s MSP®: The Future of the Medical Services Profession report, provider enrollment has been identified as a core function of the profession and necessary for the role of gatekeepers of patient safety.

Provider enrollment encompasses a wide range of tasks, including completing applications, submitting necessary documentation, and navigating intricate credentialing processes. In this intricate ecosystem, understanding the terminology associated with provider enrollment is critical for healthcare professionals, administrators, and organizations alike. However, the healthcare industry is rife with jargon, acronyms, and ever-changing regulations, making it challenging to keep up with the ever-expanding vocabulary.

NAMSS’ Provider Enrollment Glossary can bridge that gap by offering a comprehensive collection of industry-specific terms, definitions, and explanations. The Glossary creates a unified language for provider enrollment and acts as a valuable reference tool, bringing clarity and consistency to the terminology used throughout the provider enrollment process. Together, let's build a stronger foundation for the future of healthcare.
