# Choredical

*/Startups/Choredical*

## Startup Overview

Medical practices lose countless hours transferring redundant provider data into distinct insurance applications. This platform takes raw provider profiles and formats them into exact, payer-specific credentialing packets. It submits the completed files directly to the payers, bypassing the manual data entry required to get clinicians approved for billing.

Legacy credentialing platforms like Symplr Provider and Modio Health function as complex databases that still force staff to navigate workflows and track individual payer rules. By contrast, this solution is completely zero-touch for clinic administrators. Staff provide the initial provider documents once, and the system executes the entire formatting and submission sequence without human intervention.

Instead of charging flat subscription fees for tools that require internal management, the system uses an outcome-priced model. Clinics pay only when a credentialing packet is successfully submitted to a payer. This delegates the credentialing workload entirely to the software while aligning costs directly with completed tasks.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that formats and submits payer-specific provider credentialing packets

**Guarantee**: If a credentialing packet is rejected due to formatting errors or missing standard documentation within our scope, Choredical remediates and resubmits the application at no additional cost until accepted.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Payers require unique portal logins and multi-step forms -> Designed to map standard provider data to payer-specific digital forms and aims to support direct portal submissions for major networks.
- Our practice might submit inaccurate NPI or DEA data by accident -> All extracted credential data is surfaced in a single-page pre-submission review for the practice manager to approve.
- What happens when the payer requests follow-up documentation? -> Choredical monitors application status and automatically routes specific requests for missing files back to your staff dashboard.
- We have complex sub-specialties that standard forms don't capture -> The system parses unstructured CVs and custom provider notes to populate specialty-specific addendums.
