The 2009 Credentials Verification Desk Reference
Product Description:
Your guide to primary source verification—fully updated for 2009!
The 2009 Credentials Verification Desk Reference is a single-volume book designed to streamline the primary source verification process. It gives credentialing professionals the most current direct contact information and verification procedures they need to verify the education, licensure, and specialty board affiliations of physicians (MDs and DOs), podiatrists, dentists, physician assistants, and more.
This new edition contains a crosswalk of standards and regulations from The Joint Commission—including the 2009 renumbered standards—as well as CMS, AOA-HFAP, and NCQA. It also contains quick-reference information about credentialing and privileging challenges; issues relevant to managed care, ambulatory, and long-term care organizations; and listings of must-know credentialing and privileging resources (e.g., data banks, masterfiles, the OIG, and more).
Don't get stuck going through switchboards and explaining what you need.
Instead, use The 2009 Credentials Verification Desk Reference to go straight to the office that can verify data. This book provides direct contact information for the primary sources you need:
- Medical, dental, podiatry, and PA schools

Listings include up-to-date phone numbers, live e-mail addresses, and URLs that get you directly to the offices that can respond to verification requests for physicians, podiatrists, dentists, and PAs.
