PHOENIX, Ariz. (May 24, 2022) — Vālenz® announced today it has integrated with VerifPoint, an industry-leading Credentialing Verification Organization for health systems, hospitals, providers and health plans. 

The integration of the two companies creates a new solution called Valenz VPoint™, a provider credentialing and continuous monitoring solution that offers effective, diligent credential verification to ensure quality of care for patients and members. As a critical component of the Valenz strategy to assure Validation, Integrity and Accuracy (VIA) for providers, VPoint offers NCQA-certified and URAC-compliant credentialing and re-credentialing solutions.
