RECREDENTIALING

Clients will be responsible for notifying TPQVO in advance of practitioners requiring recredentialing unless the client uses TPQVO's Standard recredentialing schedule.  Standard recredentialing schedules for Physicians and Allied Health Providers are organized by specialty and allow region-wide recredentialing to occur at the same time every two years.  This standardization allows TPQVO and client organizations to save time and money and reduces hassle for healthcare providers by limiting requests for applications and supporting documentation.

Clients using TPQVO to process both initial applications and recredentialing will also receive document update and notification services.

 

DOCUMENT  UPDATE/ NOTIFICATION SERVICE

If clients elect to use TPQVO's document update service and once TPQVO has processed a health care professional, TPQVO will monitor expiration dates and request from the provider an updated copy of:

  • License (client's state)
  • Insurance Policy
  • DEA Certificate
  • Board Certification

TPQVO will verify the updated license/certificate and send a copy of the document and TPQVO's verification of that license/certificate to the client.  (TPQVO will not verify new certificates of insurance.)

In addition, TPQVO monitors state licensing board disciplinary releases (for the primary state licenses) and the HHS Office of the Inspector General Medicare Medicaid sanctions reports.  TPQVO will notify clients of any matches with healthcare professionals TPQVO has processed on the client's behalf.
