Medallion Acquires Andros, Bringing 1 Million Providers Onto One Credentialing Platform

More than one million providers across nearly 400 healthcare organizations and health plans are set to sit on Medallion’s credentialing platform after its acquisition of Andros. Medallion is pitching the deal as a way to put provider verification, enrollment, licensing and data management in one system.

Medallion announced the purchase September 15. Andros is an NCQA-certified credentials verification organization that has served health plans, health systems, provider groups and telehealth companies since 2013. The companies did not disclose financial terms.

A bigger platform for provider administration

Credentialing is the core work shared by the two companies: Andros verifies provider credentials, while Medallion offers credentialing and enrollment software. Medallion says the acquisition advances a plan to place credentialing, payer enrollment, licensing and provider-data management on one system for organizations that work with a provider record.

The transaction therefore brings together a business with established health-plan, health-system, provider-group and telehealth customers and a company that describes its own product as AI-assisted, with expert oversight. Medallion’s stated target market after the deal also includes digital-health companies, alongside those other provider organizations.

Over the past 13 years Andros has developed strong, trusted relationships with many of the top health plans in the country.

What Andros customers are meant to receive

Medallion says Andros customers will gain access to its platform over time. The planned offering includes automated collection of information directly from original sources, AI agents that contact providers and follow up with them, real-time status tracking, and credentialing specialists working alongside the automation.

That design matters to the company’s pitch. Medallion is not describing a service run only by automation; it says experts are embedded beside its automated workflows. The acquisition adds a larger base of organizations and providers to that model, rather than describing a new stand-alone AI product for them to adopt.

The transition remains gradual

The immediate disclosure is an acquisition and a planned expansion of platform access, not a completed customer migration. Medallion gave no timetable for moving Andros customers onto its system, so the announcement does not establish when individual organizations will begin using the new capabilities.

For now, the deal’s concrete change is scale: Medallion says it has added Andros’s provider and organization footprint while broadening the reach of its provider-administration strategy. Whether the combined platform makes credentialing faster or more accurate for Andros customers will depend on the later rollout; Medallion did not provide results from that transition in its announcement.
