Podcast episode: Credentialing explained with Varun Krishnamurthy
Mar 5, 2026
Podcast
In this episode of Understanding Healthcare, Stedi CEO Zack Kanter talks with Varun Krishnamurthy, CEO and co-founder of Assured Health, about provider credentialing – how payers check that a healthcare provider is qualified to practice.
Assured Health is an AI-powered provider credentialing and enrollment platform. Before starting Assured, Varun built a virtual sleep clinic called Dawn Health. One metric shaped everything there: How long it took from hiring a provider to seeing their first insured patient.
In most industries, onboarding takes days. For healthcare providers, it can take 2-6 months.
During the episode, Zack and Varun cover how provider credentialing works, the bottlenecks it can cause, and how to improve it.
