Now more than ever, healthcare professionals are working on the front lines to ensure every patient receives the best possible care. Unfortunately, providers must complete a mountain of credentialing paperwork before they can see patients.
Whether you’re a brand-new medical provider or you’ve been seeing patients for years, credentialing is a never-ending task. However, you can cut that seemingly endless credentialing to-do list down to just six (6) steps by working with 5ACVO.
Smarter Credentialing Means Less Work For You
5ACVO is a credentialing company with a core mission of providing Smarter, Simpler, and Better Credentialing. Smarter credentialing to us = less work and more control for you.
5ACVO slashes the paperwork burden on medical providers by 88%. Rather than having approximately 52 traditional credentialing items on your plate, 5ACVO collaborates as a team of experts, creating a synergy that produces efficient speed and outcomes not typically obtainable if done in-house at a medical facility.
NAMSS Research Supports Working With A CVO
A 2009 staffing study from NAMSS (National Association of Medical Staff Services) shows that working with a CVO, like 5ACVO, allows the credentialing process to be completed 5-7 days faster than without a CVO.
You are in control of the entire process. Working with a single point of contact through one email or one phone number, you can access and monitor all your credentialing data through a secure link to our data servers. That way, rather than worrying about the numerous tasks typically attributed to the credentialing process, you can devote your full attention to your patients.
What Is Primary Source Verification (PSV)?
5ACVO specializes in primary source verification (PSV), which medical providers undertake to ensure the proper credentials are in place to see and serve patients. This process is part of the credentialing process.
If tackled alone, the number of credentialing tasks can be overwhelming. Some 52 traditional credentialing steps must be accomplished before having a completed file ready for presentation to a board for review and approval.
Working with 5ACVO can minimize this burden. Functions like obtaining provider releases and privilege forms, collecting criminal background checks, verifying DEAs and CDS (when applicable), and reviewing malpractice claims are some of the many tasks that medical providers can assign to 5ACVO. The credentialing process has 52 traditional steps, which 5ACVO reduces to 6 simple steps for our providers.
Allowing a dedicated company to handle these tasks gives providers more control over the process, placing you behind the steering wheel of a team of experts working for you to ensure your providers are credentialed as efficiently as possible. For more information on the steps 5ACVO helps you manage.
