Its new AI-powered platform, known as the Supplier Hub, takes information from a spread of sources — credentialing, directories, claims, rosters, and many others. — and cleans it and unifies it right into a single file for payers.

That’s what Certify’s Supplier Hub is.”

On the identical time, we imagine that the supplier shouldn’t be spending their time filling the identical utility a number of occasions or getting contracted with a number of payers a number of occasions.”
