Enrollment Question

<< < (2/2)

PMRNC:

--- Quote ---  FYI at the HBMA conference they sternly stressed the fact that obtaining network contracts for our clients is not "credentialing" and to be careful calling it that.  If you are physically verifying their credentials and performing background checks, then great call it credentialing.  But if you are only collecting the documentation from your providers and completing the insurance applications, you are doing enrollment.   Most of the people in the room had the "oh crap" face so I wanted to point that out.  You may do all of it, I have no idea, but I am sure there is quite a few members of this site that will have the same look we did if they read  this thread.  :D

Respectively I disagree.. their own forms and packets say "credentialing". I see nothing wrong with it. There are many levels to credentialing, that go way beyond enrollment.
