Because each MCO credentials providers separately and enrollment runs 60-120 days from clean application, confirming plan assignment and credentialing status before the first Idaho Falls visit is decisive for clean first-pass payment. Across Idaho Falls's 18 organizations, even a few percentage points of MCO-routing error compounds into material rework.
