The Clinician’s Quick Guide to Credentialing and Privileging

Kathy Matzka, CPMSM, CPCS

Physicians are often unaware of the detailed steps of the credentialing process and are too embarrassed to ask. Now they have a go-to guide for credentialing, privileging, applying for medical licensure, verifications, and other sometimes-confusing topics. This handbook is a quick reference guide for residents, new physicians, and even seasoned physicians as they go through the credentialing/appointment process with hospitals and health plans. For each topic covered, the guide provides brief, easy-to-understand information to help physicians understand the process and what is required before applying for a new clinical position.

This book will help you:

• Prepare for applying to a clinical position in a hospital or health plan
• Understand the typical timeline and process of credentialing
• Know what documents to retain to simplify the application process
• Prepare for your duties as a medical staff member
• Complete the medical licensure, DEA registration, and Medicare enrollment processes
