Credentialing Verification
Credentialing Verification Services Overview
Professional Healthcare Management, established in 2004, addresses the credentialing requirements of various managed care organizations, hospitals, and other health care entities.
The verification process begins with a practitioner receiving and completing a Practitioner Application, which is available in both hard copy and electronic template. The form collects critical information regarding education, training, board certification, licensure, hospital privileges, and malpractice insurance. The form also asks necessary questions related to licensure sanctions, medicare/medicaid sanctions, felony convictions, and malpractice claim history. The information collected is then entered into the PHM Network Credentialing database and primary source verified including a query to the National Practitioner Data Bank. All information is held highly confidential, according to Professional Healthcare Management’s strict security policies.
The information housed in the Credentialing Database allows Professional Healthcare Management to provide preprinted forms, applications, and reports. This capacity frees the practitioner from spending valuable time completing multiple forms/applications and decreases duplicative efforts. At recredentialing, the use of a preprinted application or profile means that the practitioner need only review, update, and attest to the information originally provided on the application.
Professional Healthcare Management verifies practitioner’s credentials using criteria that is compliant with the National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA) and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals (JCAHO).
Professional Healthcare Management routinely supports the credentialing and privileging processes that take place in all entities and aims to reduce duplicating efforts and improve the verification process. Contracts with other clients may be established on a case-by-case basis.
