Why It Matters
Credentialing isn’t just about checking a license—it’s a frontline defense against fraud, liability, and patient harm. Hiring a provider who is unlicensed, sanctioned, or under investigation could lead to federal penalties, malpractice exposure, or loss of insurance eligibility. Our thorough credentialing approach reduces these risks by confirming every key requirement from every relevant agency.
From solo practices to Fortune 500 health systems, credentialing is a must-have for patient safety and regulatory compliance. Our package meets Joint Commission standards and aligns with OIG, DEA, and FDA expectations.
Use-Cases
- Credentialing new physicians joining a multi-site health network.
- Vetting clinical investigators for a federally funded research study.
- Outsourcing credentialing for a fast-scaling private practice group.
