Description : About the Role

Chicago Family Health Center (CFHC) is hiring a detail-driven Credentialing Specialist to own end-to-end credentialing, re-credentialing, privileging, and payer / provider enrollment for our medical, dental, and behavioral health providers.

  • Prepare credentialing packets, checklists, and summaries for leadership / committee review; track turnaround times and SLAs.
  • Process initial and reappointment privilege applications for CFHC and partner hospitals / organizations ; monitor approvals and expirations.

Payer Enrollment & Directories

  • Submit and track payer enrollments / reenrollments and updates for all applicable plans; coordinate effective dates aligned to start dates.
  • Audit payer directories and rosters; resolve discrepancies with plans to ensure providers are correctly listed and billable.
  • Communicate fee schedule and participation updates to billing / revenue cycle and clinic leadership.
  • Onboarding & Cross-Functional Support

  • Partner with Human Resources, Chief Medical Officer, Revenue Cycle, and Clinic Managers to deliver seamless provider onboarding.
  • Provide status reports and credentialing KPI analytics (e.g., time-to-enroll, first-claim dates, expirable compliance rates).
  • Chicago Family Health Centers offers benefits to all its full-time employees :

  • Visibility and growth. Operate cross-functionally with HR, the CMO, Revenue Cycle, and clinic leadership; gain exposure to credentialing committee / Board processes; build a portfolio of measurable wins (time-to-credential, directory accuracy, first-claim dates).
  • Flexible, humane work. Hybrid options for eligible roles, predictable schedules, and a collaborative, values-based team that respects work-life balance.
  • Competitive total rewards. Market-competitive pay plus comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision), retirement plan, paid time off and holidays, and employee wellness resources.
  • Inclusive culture. We value diversity, continuous learning, and clear communication—so good ideas move quickly from proposal to practice.
