​

​What typically happens during the physicians credentialing process?

Most hospitals and groups look at the following criteria during the physician credentialing process. Though these are the most common steps during credentialing, other steps may be taken, too:

​​

  

​

​

                                                                                                          ​

  

   

​1.) Verifying you school attendance

Credentialing staff may contact any school you've attended to verify education and residency or fellowship. In addition, they may contact the AMA(American Medical Association)​

2.) Verifying State Licensure

In order to ensure you meet proper state licensing requirements, credentialing staff may contact state licensure associations or the Federation of State Medical Boards.​

3.) Employment Verification and Malpractice Carriers Check.

During this critical step in the physician process, credentialing staff will contact your previous employers. They may contact the National Practitioner's Bank or other malpractice carriers.

4.) Backgournd Check

Credentialing staff will outsource this task to a background invesitgation company, who will perform checks on your criminal and financial information. IMPORTANT NOTE: serveral new compnaies specialize in social media background screening, which is becoming a standard part of the background screening process. KEEP YOUR PROFILES CLEAN.

​5.) Reference Checks

References are an important part of the physician credentialing process. Even if you provide letters of reference, the credentialing staff may contact your references directly.
