Credentialing and Enrollment for Physicians Practicing in Clint
Clint is a small Lower Valley town whose school district and trade area reach far past the town limits. A practice based here typically draws patients from a wide rural stretch of southeastern El Paso County. EPMN is a physician-owned IPA in El Paso that handles the payor side of that work: credentialing, Medicare and Medicaid enrollment, and contracting.

Credentialing When Your Patients Come from Thirty Miles Out
A Clint practice serves a trade area much larger than the town. Patients arrive from surrounding farm communities and unincorporated parts of the county, which means the panel carries a wide spread of coverage: Texas Medicaid and CHIP, Medicare for an aging agricultural population, commercial plans through El Paso employers, and a share of self-pay.
Serving that spread requires participating in nearly all of it. Every plan you are not credentialed with means another patient who has to drive into El Paso instead, and in a rural trade area that often means the visit does not happen at all.
EPMN makes broad participation practical. One verified file through an NCQA Certified Credentialing Verification Organization opens the agreements EPMN holds, and each one is opt-in. The practice stays independently owned and keeps its own clinical decisions. The timeline page shows how long each phase usually takes.
What rural practice changes about this
Access is the whole argument
Plan participation in a rural trade area is not a revenue optimization. It determines whether a patient gets seen locally or drives forty minutes each way.
Medicare and Medicaid together
Rural panels often carry both an older Medicare population and a young Medicaid one. Both programs are handled as standard member services, at a flat fee per provider.
Coverage when staff are out
A two-person office cannot pause payor correspondence for a vacation. EPMN staff carry the open files regardless of who is at your front desk.

Getting started from Clint
1
Describe the practice
Tell us the specialty, the roster, and the plans you bill today. A phone call is usually enough to size the opportunity.
2
Submit everything at once
Send a complete packet. The most common reason a file sits is a document that expired between when it was gathered and when it was sent.
3
Decide on your networks
In a rural trade area, most practices opt in broadly, but the decision is yours, plan by plan.
Questions from Clint practices
Does EPMN serve practices this far down the valley?
Yes. Clint is inside the El Paso County service area, and membership terms do not change with distance from the city. Correspondence is handled by phone, email, and mail.
Our patients come from outside the county. Does that matter for credentialing?
Not for credentialing itself, which is tied to your license and your practice location. It can matter for which plans are worth joining, and that is a conversation worth having before you opt in.
Can EPMN handle both Medicare and Texas Medicaid for us?
Yes. Both are standard member services billed at a flat fee per provider, covering the initial enrollment and the revalidation cycle that follows.
We have one physician and one medical assistant. Is that too small?
No. Solo and two-person practices make up a meaningful share of the membership, and they gain the most from moving credentialing off their own desk.
How do we get paperwork to you without driving into El Paso?
By mail, email, or fax. Nothing about joining requires an in-person visit, though our George Dieter office is open if you prefer to speak face-to-face.
Nearby Communities We Serve
