Providerflow · Provider contract management
Provider contracts, from credential check to obligation.
Providerflow onboards providers through a guided portal, verifies NPI IDs, addresses and CAQH credentials, and alerts against HHS-OIG, FDA and State Medicaid exclusion lists. It then generates BAAs, NDAs and provider contracts and extracts their obligations.
Definition
What is provider contract management?
Provider contract management is how health systems, payers and life sciences companies onboard physicians and provider groups, verify credentials and exclusion status, and create, track and renew the agreements that govern each relationship.
Providerflow runs that work in one flow: guided self-service onboarding, automatic NPI, address and CAQH checks, alerts against HHS-OIG, FDA, State Medicaid and other exclusion lists, rules-based workflows, and generated BAAs, NDAs and provider contracts. AI extracts regulatory and performance obligations, and FMV and compliance reports follow.

Why provider contracting is different
Credentials, exclusions and BAAs come before the contract.
Provider agreements carry regulatory checks that ordinary supplier contracts do not.
Credentials checked by hand
Manual NPI and CAQH lookups slow onboarding and leave gaps between checks. Providerflow verifies them automatically.
Exclusion exposure
Contracting with an excluded provider is a compliance risk. Screening runs before the agreement is generated.
Obligations after signature
Regulatory and performance obligations extracted from each agreement get owners and dates, as they do in Obligationflow.

Aavenir and the alternatives
How Aavenir compares with the other ways teams do this.
| What matters | Aavenir | Standalone contract lifecycle management tools | Shared drives, email and spreadsheets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Native on ServiceNow, or deployed standalone | Their own platform, connected to other systems by integration | Wherever the file was last saved |
| One record across the lifecycle | Sourcing, contract, obligations and invoices on one record | Usually the contract stage, other stages through partners | No record, only files and threads |
| AI at each stage | Aavenir AI extracts terms, reviews against your playbook and tracks obligations, and a person approves | Varies by product, often strongest in review and search | None |
| After signature | Obligations assigned, evidence checked, renewals flagged before the notice window | Varies by product | A calendar reminder, if someone set one |
| Where others can be stronger | Configured to your workflow, one module or the whole suite | Often a quick start for a single legal team | Free and familiar, until volume grows |
