If you answered yes, you have found the Credentialing webinar made just for you!

Provider Credentialing is a crucial process in the healthcare industry to ensure that healthcare providers are qualified and eligible to deliver services. It involves maintaining provider enrollments, updates, and re-validations. With this webinar, Cati Harris, CBCS, presents this detailed, comprehensive webinar providing you with the steps to maintain your provider's CAQH, PECOS.

Maintaining Provider Enrollments involves keeping accurate records of healthcare providers within a healthcare organization. It includes tracking their licenses, certifications, and other credentials to confirm that they remain valid and up to date. Healthcare providers may need to update their information, such as changes in contact details, additional qualifications, or certifications. Providers’ credentials must be periodically re-validated to ensure they continue meeting the required standards. Re-validation processes typically involve verifying licenses, conducting background checks, and confirming ongoing education and training.

In this informative webinar, the speaker will provide credentialing, keeping provider enrollments, and the process of provider revalidations. The webinar also offers printable and customizable forms for tasks such as payer/application cover letters, meeting provider documentation criteria, verifying documentation, fulfilling CV requirements, submitting applications, establishing payer connections, handling provider revalidations, documenting employment history, and more!
