American Seafoods Group T.D. Williamson Thrive Express Employment Professionals MUFG State of Utah Definition ## What is provider onboarding software? Provider onboarding software collects a healthcare provider's details and credentials, verifies them against sources such as NPI records, CAQH and exclusion lists, and moves the provider through contracting before they join a network or start work. Aavenir Providerflow covers that path for healthcare and life sciences organizations. Providers use guided self service portals, Providerflow checks NPI IDs, addresses and CAQH credentials automatically, and alerts fire against HHS-OIG, FDA, State Medicaid and other exclusion lists. BAAs, NDAs and provider contracts are generated from your templates, and after signature Aavenir AI extracts the regulatory and performance obligations. - Guided self service portals for provider onboarding - Automatic verification of NPI IDs, addresses and CAQH credentials - Alerts against HHS-OIG, FDA, State Medicaid and other exclusion lists - BAAs, NDAs and provider contracts generated with rules based workflows - Obligations extracted by Aavenir AI, with FMV and compliance reports from the same record Why provider onboarding stalls ## Credentialing, screening and contracting usually live in three places. Each handoff between them is a delay for the provider and a gap for compliance. ### Credentials checked by hand Someone looks up each NPI and CAQH profile and copies the result into a spreadsheet. NPI IDs verified automatically. Addresses matched. CAQH credentials checked. ### Exclusion screening done once A provider is screened at onboarding, and a later listing goes unseen. HHS-OIG alerts. FDA alerts. State Medicaid alerts. ### Agreements drafted from scratch BAAs and provider contracts are rebuilt from old files for every new provider. Templates for BAAs and NDAs. Provider contract templates. Rules based routing. ### Obligations and FMV evidence scattered Regulatory and performance commitments sit in PDFs, and FMV support is assembled before each audit. Obligations extracted by Aavenir AI. Owners and due dates. FMV and compliance reports. How it works ## One provider, from portal to tracked obligations. - Self service onboarding with the documents your rules require Practice, location and credential details captured once Rules based workflows decide the next steps. - NPI IDs checked against the registry record Practice addresses matched to the NPI record CAQH credentials confirmed as current. - HHS-OIG, FDA, State Medicaid and other exclusion lists Alerts when a provider appears on a list Possible matches go to compliance, never to an automatic decision. - Agreements built from approved templates Routing to legal and compliance by rule Signed agreements stay on the provider record. - Aavenir AI extracts regulatory and performance obligations Each obligation gets an owner and a due date FMV and compliance reports exported for audit. Built for regulated healthcare ## One record for the provider, the agreements and the evidence. When an auditor asks whether a provider was screened, which BAA governs their data and how compensation was supported, the answers sit on the same record. Providerflow runs on the same platform as the rest of the Aavenir suite, natively on ServiceNow or standalone.

Providerflow verifies NPI IDs, practice addresses and CAQH credentials automatically, and screens providers against HHS-OIG, FDA, State Medicaid and other exclusion lists. Possible matches are flagged for a compliance reviewer rather than decided automatically. [See healthcare contract management](https://aavenir.com/industries/healthcare/). ### ### Can Providerflow generate BAAs and provider contracts? Yes. Providerflow generates BAAs, NDAs and provider contracts from your approved templates, then routes them through rules based workflows to legal and compliance. The signed agreements stay on the provider record next to the verification results. [See provider contract management](https://aavenir.com/solutions/provider-contract-management/). ### ### How does Providerflow track obligations after signature? Aavenir AI extracts the regulatory and performance obligations from each signed agreement. Every obligation gets an owner and a due date, and Providerflow produces FMV and compliance reports from the same record, so audit evidence is not assembled by hand. [See obligation management](https://aavenir.com/solutions/contract-obligation-management-software/). ### ### How is Providerflow different from Onboardingflow? Providerflow is built for healthcare providers, with NPI, CAQH and exclusion list checks, BAAs and FMV reporting. Onboardingflow is for suppliers in general, with document checks and third party data on identity, finances and sanctions. Many healthcare organizations need both.
