Business Entities in the MedTrainer Credentialing module is the foundational record representing an organization’s legal entity (e.g., tax-ID, NPI, DBA, legal business name) under which one or more locations operate. It’s used to centralize and manage key data — such as locations, lines of business and enrollment applications — providing consolidated oversight, streamlined reporting and clearer structure for organizations with multiple operating sites.

FAQs
How are business entities used?
Business entities are most advantageous for organizations using multiple tax ID numbers (TINs). These are some of the most common uses for business entities:
Segment and report on organization data, breaking it down by TIN, locations, and more.
Accurately associate providers with TINs and locations to prevent claim denials and lost revenue.
Quick view of the business entity, it’s TIN, business name/DBA, and locations.
Group enrollments for providers enrolled by TIN or location.
The information in the Business Entities section is often used by compliance teams and financial teams who need all organization data in one place where it’s easy to filter.
If your organization operates under one TIN (common for community health centers and FQHCs), you can manage your account structure using organization NPIs or locations.
What information do I add in the Business Entity section?
The following information is stored within the Business Entity section:
Organization NPI
Locations
Ownership information
Credentials (certificates, licenses, accreditation)
Banking information
