Credentialing and Re-credentialing

Credentialing is the process through which an organization (a hospital, insurance network, clinical practice or physician group) decides whether a candidate is qualified to provide an acceptable quality of care to patients. Credentialing focuses on the collection and verification of provider information.

During the credentialing process, the VPoint team of experts follows the high industry standards of NCQA (The National Committee for Quality Assurance), URAC (Utilization Review Accreditation Commission), AAAHC (Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care), CMS (The Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services), ICE (The Institute for Credentialing Excellence) and JC (The Joint Commission).

Credentialing and Re-Credentialing

Yes! We have designed a health care application for client use at initial credentialing and a separate application for use at re-credentialing. Credentialing Solutions® can mail out the application to providers as part of our services, and the application to check health care qualifications is also available for download from our website.

We will perform credentialing to meet your company’s specific needs whether that be full URAC or TJC standards, or a customized package all your own to check doctors credentials. Our services are tailored to you!

VPoint makes three requests for information prior to contacting the client and discussing alternative methods to check health care provider qualifications, if possible.

Absolutely! Currently, we have many clients located outside of California who check health care provider credentials. There is no delay in processing credentials, and when needed, expedited mailing/shipping services are used to check provider qualifications and check doctors credentials.

Yes! VPoint makes up to three requests for missing information from a provider to ensure a complete application packet is returned to you. We pride ourselves on exhausting all resources to check doctors credentials and we are always in constant communication with the client to determine any special course of action that should be taken on a difficult file.

Yes! Through our secure website, clients wishing to check provider credentials may log-in with their personal “username” and “password” and access any of our CS Reports, provider profiles, view “in-process” work, and download their provider data for use in designing custom reports or for inclusion into their own database to check physician qualifications.

Provider Relations

VPoint is a Credentials Verification Organization (CVO) and is contracted by healthcare organizations to do the credentialing for their network. We also offer other services such as primary source verification, background checks, medical billing, and data management.

Credentialing is the process by which a health organization determines whether a healthcare practitioner is qualified to render acceptable quality of care to patients. It is focused on the collection and verification of information.

If you receive a form from us, it is because a healthcare organization has requested to start the credentialing process on their behalf.

The name of the plan requesting this information is on the top left-hand side of the cover letter you received from VPoint.

No, you are not. A healthcare organization that you have already signed up for is requesting that we complete the credentialing process on their behalf. To sign up for a new plan, you would start the enrollment process. Please contact us if you would like to enroll in a new plan.

No, the insurance company hired VPoint to process their credentialing needs. Please contact us if you need additional credentialing done for your office, hospital, or facility.

We do not provide fee schedules. To get that information, please contact the plan directly. You may have also received this information during the enrollment process.
