*Based on credentialing timelines achieved by H3-trained specialists using Elevate by H3, H3's proprietary credentialing, enrollment, and privileging platform. Individual results may vary.
Every other credential misses your world.
Existing certifications were built for hospital credentialing departments and health systems. If you work in an independent specialty practice, your reality (payer panels, enrollment timelines, CAQH, multi-specialty groups) is simply not covered.
Existing certificationsNAMSS CPCS / CPES
- Hospital and health system focus: privileging, bylaws, and accreditation
- Three years of prior experience required just to sit for the exam
- No enrollment content: the CPCS exam explicitly excludes provider enrollment
- No payer relationship training for building rep contacts or expediting applications
- No private-practice context: independent specialty groups, multi-specialty billing, CAQH management
- No ongoing community for questions after you pass
CCEP™by H3 Healthcare
- Built for private practices: independent specialty groups, ASCs, multi-location, and multi-specialty
- No experience minimum: open to career changers, new hires, and experienced specialists alike
- Enrollment is the curriculum: payer applications, timelines, denials, roster updates, and CAQH
- Payer relationship strategy: how to build rep contacts and use them to move faster
- Real-world case studies drawn from 1,000+ credentialed providers across 30+ states
- Certified Expert Forum: ongoing access to a community of CCEP™ holders
Your expertise deserves
a credential to match.
Negotiate a higher rate
Just as a Certified Professional Coder commands more than an uncertified biller, CCEP™ gives you a market-validated credential to bring to any salary conversation.
Stand out in a role with no resume differentiation
Credentialing coordinators rarely have a standardized career path. CCEP™ is a searchable, verifiable credential that signals expertise to any hiring manager or practice administrator.
Fill the gaps no one taught you
Most people in this role were handed a job and figured it out on the fly. CCEP™ teaches what you may never have formally learned: payer strategy, panel access, and deadline management under pressure.
"I was given a credentialing job I never applied for, with no training and no playbook. I had to figure everything out alone."
Sentiment shared by nearly every credentialing coordinator we've met
Five Modules.
