NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CredSimple, a provider network management solution, today announced the launch of andros, its new corporate brand identity, which represents the union of CredSimple and Glenridge Health which took place January of this year. andros is an industry-first, all-in-one solution that provides healthcare organizations unprecedented access to a deep pool of data that enables greater efficiency and optimization within their networks. The platform provides a streamlined and comprehensive approach to powering network development and network management lifecycles, which includes recruiting, contracting, credentialing, and directory management.

Our new name and positioning will help us reinforce our continued mission of enabling healthcare companies to digitally transform their entire networks."

The new-to-market andros technology leverages technology, data-enabled learnings, and an AI powered process to help clients execute national credentialing needs with less than two people and in less than seven days, addressing a key component of healthcare administration.

"andros has developed a powerful SaaS platform that is providing a new standard for the industry in addressing these complexities and meaningfully improving the entire process for provider network management. We are enthusiastic about the power of the new integrated technology platform, the team that has been assembled to tackle these industry challenges, and the long-term potential of the company."

andros was developed as the only solution for the needs of the healthcare company of today, helping satisfy all provider network management requirements and the ability to build provider networks in one place. The company has established successful networks for all health plan products including commercial, Medicare Advantage, Managed Medicaid (MCOs), Duals (MMP), LTSS/HCBS, ISNP and DSNP and specialty networks including dental, behavioral, and telehealth.
