Verisys® Revolutionizes Credentialing, Onboarding with CheckMedic™
The first web-based credentialing tool that puts providers in charge of their data
Verisys Corporation, a primary source aggregator of health care provider data, has just shattered the myth that credentialing must remain a manual, time-consuming and often inaccurate process. Today, they are introducing CheckMedic™, the first online credentialing solution that puts health care providers - not organizations - in charge of their data. The entire system can be accessed from any computer, tablet or smartphone at www.checkmedic.com.
Exceeding primary source verification standards set by The Joint Commission, DNV and HFAP, CheckMedic:
- Empowers providers to create a MedPass™ containing their credentials and information, and then manage their data as needed
- Ensures that providers' credentials have been checked and verified, saving time and money for health care organizations and third-party payers
- Includes an online Provider Finder enabling consumers to locate the health care professionals who best meet their needs
CheckMedic is among the Verisys Credentials Verification Solutions that have been exclusively endorsed by the American Hospital Association.
"For the past three decades, the processes involved in credentialing, recruitment, onboarding, corporate compliance and other activities have become enormously inefficient, rife with duplication and unnecessarily expensive," said Verisys Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder John Benson. "CheckMedic is the web-based solution that can overcome these challenges."
According to Benson, CheckMedic ensures that the credentials, background data and self-reported information of all providers - from physicians and nurses to therapists and technicians - have been checked and verified. CheckMedic continuously monitors dynamic credentialing data in real-time, alerts organizations of provider status changes and includes screening services. It also handles all aspects of peer referencing, giving organizations objective assessments that can result in smarter hiring decisions so they can onboard new providers within days, not months.
For providers, "the CheckMedic MedPass is the last credentialing application that they'll ever have to fill out, even if they move to another organization, city or state," said Verisys Chief Sales Officer Raymond R. Jacobs. "Once a provider sets up their MedPass, CheckMedic monitors their credentialing data that can change over time and alerts them when renewals are due, protecting them as well as their organizations." Services are covered by an annual CheckMedic monitoring fee ranging from $60 to $360, which can be paid by the provider or their organization.
Set up is easy. After an organization registers for an account at www.checkmedic.com, they can invite their providers to create a MedPass containing their credentials and information. Now in development is CheckMedic's Provider Finder, an online portal to more than 30 million health care providers, professionals and businesses nationwide. Its robust search interface will help consumers find the providers best for their family's health care needs.
