 Medical Provider Credentialing Process

•  The healthcare provider, the organisation, and the payer must all participate in the medical provider credentialing process.
• Usually, the organisation gives the credentialing application to the healthcare professional (s). He or she is in charge of filling out the application, which can be many pages long, and attaching all necessary supporting materials, such as board certification, college degrees, and more. The provider submits the completed application to the organisation he or she intends to work for.
• The organisation is then in charge of including any supporting documentation, such as the outcomes of any background checks, primary source verification, and more.
• Once they have complete any application sections related to the healthcare facility and attach the necessary supporting documentation, they submit the finished application to the payer.
• The payer examines the submission to assess the healthcare provider’s compliance with the payer’s requirements. The provider’s education (and the accreditation of that programme), residency or fellowship, recommendations, history of malpractice claims, licence, and other factors will all be take into account.
•  Depending on the payer, this entire process is necessary when the provider first joins a new practise and then on occasion go forward, typically every two to three years.

That person (or team) also needs to keep track of re-credentialing deadlines and start, monitor, and finish the process each time a provider needs to be re-credential.

The development and maintenance of expertise in the provider credentialing process is crucial, as is keep up with changes in the market, trends in credentialing, and payer requirement.
