Credentialing’s Role in Compliance
- Credentialing Protects Compliance:
Prevents audits, recoupments, and False Claims Act risks through accurate provider records. - Credentialing Gaps Create FWA Exposure:
Missing licenses, sanctions, enrollments, or ownership checks can trigger investigations. - Centralize Provider Data: Maintain one trusted system for licenses, NPIs, CAQH, payer records, and documents.
- Automate Monitoring & Verification:
Track exclusions, adverse actions, and renewals and assign clear ownership for alerts. - Measure Credentialing Performance: Monitor verification status, renewals, turnaround time, and compliance issues.
- Act Before Problems Occur: Regular audits, accurate documentation, and accountability reduce FWA risks.
