medical credentialing services
If you’ve been in the healthcare business you know there’s some obstacles to overcome. Interim credentialing and then full medical credentialing can take a long time. In today’s world you can’t be an expert at everything in your industry. Companies that offer Medical Credentialing Services are trained to vet candidates; so why not leave that part of the job to an expert who will get more thorough results? It saves you the headache and ensures your candidates are always top notch.
Let’s take a look at the top 5 reasons to Outsource your Credentialing Process
- Gathering Documents :- Okay, let’s be real for a second, doctors have a lot on their plate and can lose documents from time to time. These documents can include copies of licenses held, malpractice insurance face sheets and sometimes even their diplomas. Gathering all these documents is a real pain and nobody wants to do it. Hiring an experienced Medical Credentialing company that knows how to obtain these types of documents can save you a ton of time in the locums background check process. They know exactly how to go about getting these lost documents and replacing them ASAP.
- Licensures & Primary Source Verification:- Verifying Licenses can be a real time suck. To make matters worse, some doctors are licensed in multiple states and international candidates have been licensed in foreign countries. A license verification will need to be done on each of these licenses to make sure no administrative action was ever taken against any of these licenses. Doing a primary source verification on a candidate is also time consuming. Hiring an experienced Medical Credentialing company can save you time on this process as they know where to get the primary source information. Plus, Medical Credentialing companies already have the third party PSV accounts set up so reporting is quicker.
- Malpractice Claim History:- A malpractice claim history query will need to be run against every malpractice policy the doctor has ever had. Often doctors don’t realize how important it is to keep a copy of their malpractice face sheet. A Medical Credentialing company can help the doctor find and obtain all insurance information and get copies of all face sheets. Then the Medical Credentialing company can run the queries to request malpractice claims history to make sure no malpractice claims have been reported. If a malpractice claim has been reported, the credentialing company can get the details from the doctor and the insurance company.
- Background Check:- A national background check will be required for any locums doctor. Since companies offering Medical Credentialing Services have contracts with background companies, you don’t have to run the background yourself. Just call the Medical Credentialing company and let them do it for you.
- Results Delivery:- Results come back to your agency in a nicely packaged file which includes every piece you’ll need to successfully place this candidate into a locums contract. A Medical Credentialing company will also be able to handle hospital and payor enrollment Credentialing should you decide your agency needs to complete these items. Medical Credentialing companies store all your candidates data in a system where you can access it when you need to, as experts do what you do best. Leave the vetting of candidates to the professionals at a company like Medical Credentialing. Rely on the vetting of candidates to the professionals to ensure that you don’t miss something that will cost you a contract, or worse still, the reputation of your company.
