when bad

or imposter

physicians slip through the system,

patients pay the price!

what is credentialing?

how does it stop bad / imposter physicians

from reaching patients?

credentialing is ….

applications and forms

Federal law requires that hospitals develop applications and privilege request forms for new and

re-applying physicians

credentialing is …

getting your hands dirty

and verifying with the “primary source” the following: (1) Medical School, (2) Internship, (3) Residency, (4) Fellowship, (5) Board Certification, (6) Fluoroscopy, (7) Medical Licensure, (8) ECFMG, (9) DEA, (10) Insurance [malpractice claims history], (11) current and previous hospital affiliations and work sites, (12) peer references, (13) NPDB, (14) OIG, (15) GSA, (16) Megan’s Law, (17) CME, (18) PPD / health status; and (19) current clinical competency (activity logs from current and previous hospitals)

credentialing is …

reading between the lines Verifying everything claimed with everything verified

credentialing … saves lives
