Credentialing
At its most basic, credentialing means the process of checking a physician's background and qualifications. At Compass IPA it means much more.
When a physician applies for membership with Compass IPA, our credentialing staff performs verification of the following:
- Education - when, where, degrees, etc.
- Employment history and experience
- Hospital privileges
- Certification in various medical specialties
- Licenses to practice medicine
- Liability insurance coverage
- Disciplinary actions, if any, including malpractice claims
- Peer references – can other physicians who have worked closely with the applicant attest to his or her competence?
Only after all the items have been satisfactorily documented is a physician considered for membership in Compass IPA. And every three years the items that are subject to change are verified again in order for a member to remain in Compass IPA.
