Heavenly Ink Credentialing

What Heavenly Ink Credentialing does

Heavenly Ink Credentialing is a privately held, founder-owned professional services firm headquartered in Gulfport, Mississippi, that provides outsourced medical credentialing and payer enrollment services to US healthcare practices. The company is led by founder Nisha Clinkscale, who holds CPC, CPMA, CPCO, and CPB certifications with 15+ years of experience in medical coding, billing, and payer enrollment. Service offerings span five modules: provider credentialing and CAQH support, payer enrollment across Medicare, Medicaid, BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare and other commercial payers, facility credentialing and privileging (including Joint Commission and NCQA readiness), business entity and billing setup, and custom consulting for credentialing recovery and corrective action.

The company's core technology is the HIC Client Portal, a proprietary web-based dashboard that tracks each provider's credentialing status across a defined seven-phase pipeline (Profile Setup, CAQH and NPI, Primary Source Verification, Payer Applications, Follow-Up, Approval and Effective Date, Active Billing), surfaces real-time payer enrollment status, and issues automatic alerts 90 days before any license, DEA certificate, CAQH attestation, or credential expires. The portal serves both as a client-facing visibility tool and as the operational backbone for the service team.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional services engagements sold via a 20-minute sales-led discovery call; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market combines direct sales, content-led demand generation (free credentialing guides, checklists, online courses, organic social media), and referral partnerships with ClinAdvize (compliance inspections) and Collaborating Docs (collaborative practice agreements for nurse practitioners). The company serves a mix of customer segments — primarily behavioral health practices and PE-backed multi-site groups, with secondary focus on staffing/locum providers and solo or specialty clinics — across the United States. The company also runs an adjacent educational product line (Credentialing Business Challenge and Credentialing Success Course) that monetizes the founder's expertise and functions as a marketing funnel for the core services business.
