How Incredable Is Helping Rural Hospitals Close the Credentialing Gap

Incredable is transforming rural healthcare by simplifying provider credentialing, accelerating onboarding, and empowering facilities to deliver timely, quality care.

(PRUnderground) September 10th, 2025

Incredable, the credentialing platform developed by healthcare professionals at Intiva Health (also the parent company of Gummi World) is making a measurable difference in rural communities by helping small hospitals and clinics tackle one of their biggest operational challenges: getting providers credentialed quickly, affordably, and accurately.

Across the country, rural hospitals and clinics are under pressure to maintain services with limited staff, lean budgets, and growing compliance demands. Many rural facilities are implementing new models of care under Medicaid programs. Still, operational hurdles often prevent them from scaling quickly enough to meet patient needs.

Credentialing: A Hidden Barrier in Rural Healthcare

Credentialing delays are a critical, often under-recognized, barrier hindering patient access and straining rural healthcare operations. Despite serving nearly 60 million Americans, rural areas face a growing physician shortage, with only about 9% of U.S. doctors practicing in rural communities, while 20% of the population resides there (National Rural Health). When outdated or unreliable credentialing systems are added to existing staffing shortages, the result is often serious delays in care, such as longer hospital stays, postponed surgeries, and slower access to essential services.

Rural providers often deal with onboarding timelines ranging from 60 to 180 days, during which newly hired clinicians cannot bill for services, impacting both revenue and continuity of care. Administrative teams who are already stretched thin waste hours (sometimes up to 30 hours per provider) on paperwork and redundant applications, draining organizational capacity. The limited digital infrastructure and fragmented health data systems within rural healthcare communities slow credential cross-sharing, leading to repeated submissions and inefficiency.

These bottlenecks can threaten the financial viability of these facilities, which is why improving credentialing is essential. Credentialing improvements, such as centralized verification systems, could slash credentialing timelines by more than half, potentially recovering millions of lost revenue.

The Incredable Difference

Incredable was designed by healthcare professionals who’ve been in the trenches; the platform addresses the specific pain points that rural hospitals and clinics face daily. The goal is to help administrators move faster, providers onboard sooner, and communities get the care they deserve without unnecessary delays.

Aside from configurable features, Incredable’s team truly sets the credentialing solution apart. From day one, its implementation and customer success teams work hand-in-hand with each facility to understand their unique workflow, staffing limitations, and compliance pressures, and consider how the platform can be tailored accordingly. No two organizations are the same, and Incredable understands their credentialing solutions should not be either.

Key advantages include:

  • Automated provider verification that cuts down on paperwork and manual follow-ups.
  • Configurable workflows that can scale up or down based on team size, policy, or urgency.
  • A mobile-first provider portal that gives clinicians real-time access to their credentials.
  • Flat-rate pricing with no per-provider fees, making it a truly scalable option for budget-conscious facilities
  • Faster onboarding, in which many clients reduce credentialing timelines by 30–40%, allowing providers to start serving patients sooner.

When issues arise, as they often do in healthcare, Incredable’s team responds quickly, whether it’s a live credentialing question, compliance need, or system tweak. That level of collaboration is part of what keeps Incredable responsive and proactive, steps ahead of the evolving real-world feedback.

What This Looks Like in the Real World

Across rural healthcare settings, the impact of Incredable is consistent: faster credentialing, less administrative burden, and quicker access to care. In facilities where credentialing once took 90 days or more, timelines have been reduced by as much as 40%, helping providers get to work weeks sooner.

Administrative teams report saving dozens of hours each month by automating manual tasks like document collection and verification follow-ups. And with Incredable’s flat-rate pricing model, small organizations can expand service coverage without increasing headcount or ballooning their budgets.

These outcomes are based on repeatable success across Incredable’s rural client base. Whether it’s reducing credentialing timelines, simplifying compliance, or alleviating staffing strain, Incredable has become a go-to solution for rural facilities looking to modernize without overhauling their operations.

“We don’t just hand off a platform; we walk alongside our partners to understand their challenges and build something that actually works for their team,” said Thomas Brough, Director of Partnership Development at Incredable. “Every rural facility operates a little differently, but the need for speed, simplicity, and reliability is universal. That’s what we deliver, time and again.”

Built for Compliance and Built to Last

In today’s healthcare landscape, rural facilities face rising pressure to meet evolving compliance standards. Incredable was built with those demands in mind, helping to streamline credentialing while keeping organizations compliant and aligned with industry best practices.

“Rural hospitals are the backbone of healthcare in many communities, but they’ve often been left behind when it comes to modern technology,” said Alexander C. Candelario, Chairman and CEO of Intiva Health. “Incredable was designed to change that. We’re leveling the playing field so small facilities can credential providers as efficiently as major health systems.”

Looking Ahead: Scalable Support for Rural Healthcare

As rural healthcare continues to evolve, facilities need credentialing solutions that keep pace with regulatory demands, staffing challenges, and shifting patient needs. Incredable is purpose-built to meet these challenges, helping hospitals and clinics streamline onboarding, reduce administrative burden, and ensure compliance without slowing down operations.
