Where it matters

Where the platforms actually differ.

Medallion is a strong product. But for small and mid-size groups, the gaps show up in three areas.

End-to-end payer enrollment services, included.

Our enrollment team submits applications on your behalf, follows up with payers, and manages escalations. Medallion offers payer enrollment as a limited add-on — not a core service.

U.S.-based reps you can actually reach.

Monthly check-ins with a named customer success rep, bi-weekly follow-ups on closed panels, and 90-day advance alerts on expirations. Outsourced support can mean longer wait times when you need answers.

Built for groups under 5 providers.

Medallion's pricing and onboarding are designed for enterprise. Accel Health is the only credentialing platform purpose-built for small practices and growing groups — with no minimum provider count.

Compare operational outcomes

What practices are actually buying.

Practices are not just purchasing software.

They're purchasing the things that compound — faster cash flow, cleaner files, and a single place to see every panel and every expiration. The comparison that matters is the one your operations team feels every Monday.

Honest timelines

What we control, and what we don't.

We speed up the parts we own: verification, application prep, submission. Payer processing timelines are set by payers — not vendors.

What Accel Health controls

Fast, clean, error-free.

Our automated PSV takes minutes, not days. We prep clean applications and submit them fast — eliminating the delays caused by incomplete files.

Provider document upload30–45 min
Primary source verificationMinutes
CAQH + PECOS profileHandled by us
Application submissionWhen file is clean
What payers control

Industry-standard ranges.

After we submit, the timeline depends on the payer. These ranges are industry-standard — not something any vendor can shorten.

Commercial insurance30–45 days
Medicare / Medicaid60–90 days
CA Medi-CalUp to 6 months
Re-credentialing cyclesEvery 2–3 years
Our value is in the ongoing management, follow-up, escalation, and visibility throughout the entire process.
How it works

From sign-up to ongoing monitoring.

Six steps. No surprise invoices. No annual lock-in.

Onboard your team

Add providers by NPI and email. Each provider gets a mobile link to upload documents. Our team cleans up and completes CAQH and PECOS profiles.

Step 03

We submit for you

Our enrollment team submits clean, error-free payer applications. You see real-time status in the dashboard. We follow up, escalate, and keep you informed.

Step 04

Ongoing monitoring

30-day automated compliance checks, 90-day advance alerts on expirations, and bi-weekly follow-ups on closed panels. Your named CS rep checks in monthly.

Step 05

Real-time dashboard

Track every application status in one place. Audit-ready documentation packages available anytime. Up to 5 user accounts per organization included.

Step 06
