Credentialing in Utah
Soft Home Global provides payer enrollment, revalidation and follow-up for Utah practices and billing companies at $2,200 per seat per month. Full time, worked during Utah business hours, inside your own system.
What is specific to Utah
Utah Medicaid contracts with accountable care organizations along the Wasatch Front while many rural counties remain fee-for-service, and the commercial side is led by the Intermountain-affiliated SelectHealth plan.
Utah’s Medicaid programme is Utah Medicaid. Practices with a meaningful Utah Medicaid mix usually need it worked as its own queue rather than mixed into commercial follow-up, because the submission path, the timely filing window and the appeal route are all different.
What a credentialing seat does in Utah
Applications, revalidations and payer follow-up, with every enrollment's status visible.
Utah Medicaid is not one enrollment but one per plan, and every one of them has a revalidation date that stops payment when it passes. That calendar is the work.
- Initial applications prepared and submitted
- Revalidations tracked ahead of the deadline
- CAQH kept current
- Payer follow-up until an effective date is issued
- Status of every enrollment visible to you
- Worked during Utah business hours, not queued overnight
For the statute behind all of this — Utah’s prompt-pay deadline, its Medicaid filing limit, and the wrinkle that catches people out here — see the Utah billing page.
Utah Medicaid, in practice
Managed care is mandatory in the urban Wasatch Front counties and optional elsewhere: four plans (Health Choice Utah, Healthy U, Molina Healthcare, SelectHealth Community Care) operate alongside a state Fee for Service Network. Quote: "Members who live in any other county in Utah have the option of selecting a health plan or using the Fee for Service Network". Source
Working Utah hours
Utah runs on Mountain time, 12 hours behind our floor in Rawalpindi. To be at a desk for your nine to five, the shift here runs 9pm to 5am, and 8pm to 4am once the clocks go forward. Pakistan does not observe daylight saving, so the shift moves on this side rather than yours.
That is the part that decides whether follow-up happens at all: a payer’s phone lines are open on Utah hours and nobody else’s.
What it costs in Utah
$2,200
Per seat, per month, in US dollars — $26,400 a year for one full-time person, forty hours a week, on Utah hours. No annual contract, no percentage of collections, no setup fee and no software to buy. Seat prices across all roles in Utah run $1,500 to $2,500; the full list is published.
That is the entire invoice. Run your own figures against a percentage vendor or a hire rather than take ours.
Getting started in Utah
About a week from a signed agreement to a person working your queue, and that week of training on your workflow is not billed on top. The work happens in your own system under a login you issue, so there is nothing to migrate and nothing to install. The week, step by step, and what is signed before anyone has access.
Questions
Do you work with Utah practices?
Yes. Utah accounts are worked during Utah office hours rather than queued overnight, because a payer's phone lines are open then and at no other time.
What is different about Utah?
Utah Medicaid contracts with accountable care organizations along the Wasatch Front while many rural counties remain fee-for-service, and the commercial side is led by the Intermountain-affiliated SelectHealth plan.
When does a Utah payer have to pay a clean claim?
30 days from receipt of a written claim to pay or deny (45 days for income replacement benefit claims); the statute sets no separate electronic deadline A claim sitting past that is not merely late, it is late against a statute, and the follow-up call changes from "when might this be paid" to "this passed your statutory window on a specific date".
How much does credentialing cost in Utah?
$2,200 per seat per month — $26,400 a year for a full-time person, forty hours a week. Every seat price is published at softhomeglobal.com/pricing.
What hours will somebody actually be working our Utah queue?
Utah is on Mountain time, 12 hours behind Rawalpindi. The shift here runs 9pm to 5am so your seat is at a desk for your full working day, shifting to 8pm to 4am while daylight saving is in force — Pakistan does not observe it, so the change happens on our side.
Do you handle Utah Medicaid as well as commercial payers?
Yes, and as its own queue rather than mixed into commercial follow-up. Utah Medicaid has its own submission path, its own filing window and its own appeal route, and working it in the same worklist as commercial claims is how the deadlines get missed.
Is this a percentage of what you collect?
No — a flat monthly rate per seat, published at softhomeglobal.com/pricing. A percentage bills you most in your best month and points the vendor at the easy accounts.
What is the minimum commitment, and how quickly can somebody start?
One seat for one month, cancellable on thirty days notice, and about a week from a signed agreement to a person working your queue. The week of training is not billed. The steps are at softhomeglobal.com/how-it-works.
Is our patient data safe offshore?
A Business Associate Agreement is signed before anyone has access, and the work happens in your own system under a login you issue, so every action is attributable to a person in your audit trail. The controls are listed at softhomeglobal.com/security.

Twenty minutes on a call is enough to tell whether this fits. If it does not, I will say so.
