Understanding the Medical Credentialing Process
Credentialing is an application process of organizing enrollment information and verifying a physician’s professional records to ascertain their eligibility to qualify a doctor to practice medicine and includes hospital privileges, malpractice insurance, education, board certification, professional references and additional information.
In order for organizations to attain primary source verification of the practitioner’s education, training, certificates, provider type, and licensure and maintain a file on each provider, they must be given permission to research their background, education, licensure, and professional certifications. Provider enrollment applications are part of the enrollment process and are filled out and this will determine the medical practice physician’s eligibility.
A physician must be credentialed for their scope of practice, including procedures and special equipment they will use in those procedures.
