This updated and expanded edition is a must-have resource.

The contact information and verification procedures of many organizations you must contact to verify the credentials of applicants and reapplication changes over the course of a year. Organizations move offices, alter the price of verification, adopt new procedures for obtaining verification, or implement electronic verification that could save you time and money. 

Access over 3,000 listings, including live e-mail addresses, URLs, fax numbers, and new AHP credential verification sources. This up-to-date reference lists information on:

  • credentialing contacts
  • medical and allied health professional schools
  • licensing agencies and contact information
  • specialty boards and associations
  • data banks (over 3,000 organizations)
  • and more.

The Credentialing and Privileging Desk Reference includes all these important changes, saving you the trouble of tracking down this information. The authors also added a new chart that details the National Committee for Quality Assurance's managed care standards, and provides essential information about the JCAHO's long-term care standards. As most of your peers agree, The Credentialing and Privileging Desk Reference is the best resource available to do your job effectively and efficiently.

It lists medical schools, state licensing agencies, specialty boards, many associations, data banks, and over 1,500 organizations. You can use this contact list to verify the credentials of physicians and allied health professionals. The contact listing include:

  • verification policies and procedures
  • verification fees
  • specific contact information
  • Web site and e-mail addresses
You'll also find redesigned reference charts that highlight the roles and responsibilities in credentialing, privileging, managed care, and long-term care. These charts provide a fast and easy way to research issues such as:
  • education verification
  • licensure verification
  • temporary privileges
  • emergency privileges
  • primary source verification
  • current competence
  • and more.

Each reference chart also lists all associated standard numbers from the JCAHO, AOA-HFAP, and Medicare COP. In addition, it provides quick-reference tools, explanation, and practical, real-world advice on the many and varied issues facing today's credentialing professionals.

This book also added information regarding common NCQA credentialing issues that you can use to guide policy and procedure development. All you have to do is add your state's specific requirements. This updated resource also includes important information about long-term care organizations to help you design and implement JCAHO-compliant credentialing and privileging processes for all licensed independent practitioners in the long-term care environment.
