Hospital credentialing is an important part of the medical staff process and involves verifying a practitioner’s qualifications, professional history, licenses, training, experience, and other applicable credentials. The process may also include clinical privileging, application requirements, documentation, verification, and ongoing recredentialing. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
Practice Care Solutions provides hospital credentialing support to help healthcare providers and organizations manage these administrative requirements in a more organized and consistent manner. From preparing applications and coordinating documentation to tracking verification, follow-ups, privileging, and reappointment requirements, we help reduce the administrative workload associated with hospital credentialing.
Credentialing & Application Support: We help organize provider information, supporting documentation, and applicable hospital credentialing applications according to the requirements of each organization.
Verification & Documentation: We assist with organizing and coordinating applicable verification of licenses, education, training, certifications, professional experience, affiliations, and other required credentials.
