Fulcrum Health will assume management of provider contracting and credentialing in 21 states for chiropractic, occupational and physical therapy, and speech therapy
PLYMOUTH, Minn., Feb. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Fulcrum Health, Inc., the leading non-profit physical medicine benefit management organization, announced today that it has reached an agreement to assume the provider contracting and credentialing business previously operated by Health Services Management (HSM). The agreement, which took effect January 1, 2024, increases the number of carrier contracts for Fulcrum Health, and expands its network reach to 21 states and nearly 6,000 network chiropractic; acupuncture; massage therapy; and occupational, speech, and physical therapy providers.
This transaction transitions the majority of HSM network business to Fulcrum Health, capitalizing on Fulcrum's expertise in physical medicine network management, and their provider contracting and credentialing for physical medicine capabilities.

"We are excited to contribute to the growth of our newly contracted providers with fast, efficient, accurate claims processing and credentialing, and the broad support that has made Fulcrum a leader in physical medicine management."
With Fulcrum Health's singular focus on leveraging physical medicine, the nonprofit is poised to deliver dedicated customer service and support for physical medicine practitioners through resources and educational opportunities. As an industry leader in supporting integrative physical medicine, this tradition of network innovation and quality is found with all of Fulcrum's networks: ChiroCare, credentialed chiropractors; AcuNet, credentialed licensed acupuncturists; along with a massage therapist network, TruTouch; and expansion into the speech, occupational, and physical therapy network named TheraFlex.
