Supervisor, Credentialing

Overview

Who We Are

We are a community built on care. Our caregivers and supporting staff extend compassion to those in need, helping to improve the health and well-being of those we serve, and provide comfort and healing. Your community is our community.

Our Story

We started out as a small operation in California. In May 1969, we acquired four hospitals, some additional care facilities and real estate for the future development of hospitals. Over the years, we've grown tremendously in size, scope and capability, building a home in new markets over time, and curating those homes to provide a compassionate environment for those entrusting us with their care.

We have a rich history at Tenet. There are so many stories of compassionate care; so many 'firsts' in terms of medical innovation; so many examples of enhancing healthcare delivery and shaping a business that is truly centered around patients and community need. Tenet and our predecessors have enabled us to touch many different elements of healthcare and make a difference in the lives of others.

Our Impact Today

Today, we are leading health system and services platform that continues to evolve in lockstep with community need. Tenet's operations include three businesses - our hospitals and physicians, USPI and Conifer Health Solutions.

Our impact spreads far and deep with 65 hospitals and approximately 510 outpatient centers and additional sites of care. We are differentiated by our top notch medical specialists and service lines that are tailored within each community we serve. The work Conifer is doing will help provide the foundation for better health for clients across the country, through the delivery of healthcare-focused revenue cycle management and value-based care solutions.

Together as an enterprise, we work to save lives and can accept nothing less than excellence from ourselves in service of our patients and their families, every day.

Job Summary

The Supervisor, Credentialing Operations, Training & Provider Readiness leads the GBC Credentialing team and serves as the subject matter expert (SME), trainer, and day-to-day oversight lead for credentialing and market operations. This role is accountable for building team knowledge, driving urgency, and protecting the accuracy and timeliness of credentialing work so providers are onboarded, enrolled, and billing-ready without delaying their ability to generate revenue.

This role owns training, onboarding, continuous education, and staff development for the department. Using audit findings, operational trends, and performance data, it proactively identifies opportunities to improve competency, reduce errors, and increase consistency.

The Supervisor also directly manages the organization's Priority Provider Readiness Program as a hands-on individual contributor for leadership-approved priority providers, ensuring designated providers move through the credentialing and enrollment pipeline and are fully billing-ready on Day One whenever payer and operational requirements allow.

This is a hybrid leadership role. The supervisor serves as an individual contributor for leadership-approved Priority Providers, directly managing those high-risk readiness plans through completion. For broader team operations, success is measured by how effectively the supervisor leads, trains, monitors, and improves team performance, including accuracy, consistency, turnaround, and reduced critical misses. The supervisor redirects routine work to the correct owners, removes barriers, and oversees quality rather than personally completing all team-assigned work.
