Insurance Credentialing Bootcamp is designed for clinicians who are brand new to insurance and need a roadmap on where to begin.

In this comprehensive course, Danielle will share with you how to take your practice from out-of-network to in-network with easy-to-follow steps.

Each module also includes a Q&A session where a fellow clinician asks Danielle questions about the lesson so that you get further explanations to questions that may have came up for you.

At the bottom of every module is a place where you can post your comments and questions and get them answered by Danielle. Bootcamp members' questions and answers will also be displayed for extra learning.

Your Instructor

Danielle Kepler

Hi! I'm Danielle, I own my own solo private practice (soon to be group!) in Chicago and am also the owner/head insurance guru at Be Your Own Biller. Since starting my own practice in May 2015, I have paneled with over 45+ insurance companies/EAPs and do all of my own insurance verification and billing. When I first started in solo practice, I did not know anything about credentialing or billing! I picked up tidbits from other clinicians here and there, but was mostly self-taught. I soon realized I had a knack for credentialing and billing and decided to help other clinicians learn the process.

When I first started out, I did not have the means to hire someone to credential or bill for me and set out to do it myself. It is my hope that with these courses, clinicians will feel empowered to embark on the insurance journey without needing a long-term credentialing or billing service.
