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. 

The Credentials Verification Desk Reference is a single-volume directory designed to streamline the primary source verification process. It gives credentialing professionals the most current direct contact information and verification procedures they need to cover physicians (MDs and DOs), podiatrists, dentists, and physician assistants. It also contains information about credentialing and privileging challenges; a crosswalk of standards and regulations from the Joint Commission, CMS, AOA-HFAP, and NCQA; managed care credentialing issues; and need-to-know credentialing and privileging resources.

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.

It 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, this 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 directory provides the direct contact information for the primary sources you need:

  • Medical, podiatry, dentistry, and PA schools and programs

  • Licensing agencies and boards

  • Specialty associations

  • Medical societies and academies

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.

With all the information packed into this convenient, single-volume book, you’ll be able to:

  • Easily search verification sources, including the following up-to-date information:

    • e-mail addresses

    • URLs

    • mailing addresses

    • fees

    • verification request submission requirements

  • Stay current on the latest Joint Commission and NCQA standards that affect credentialing, privileging, and verification

  • Quickly locate the standards, regulations, and Web resources you need

  • Eliminate wasted time going through switchboards at medical schools or specialty boards to get the right office

No need to continue randomly searching the Web or flipping through incomplete directories. Expedite your process with this comprehensive printed guide to primary source verification. Just grab it off the shelf, turn to the appropriate section, and get the information you need. It’s that easy!
