Several Massachusetts organizations have worked together to help streamline physician credentialing in that state. Starting April 1, 2004, physicians in Massachusetts will be able to either submit or update their credentialing information using two new standardized forms, according to a press release from the Massachusetts Medical Society (MMS).
The effort to create one credentialing form for all physicians was coordinated by the MMS, the Massachusetts Hospital Association (MHA), and seven healthcare plans. The standardized credentialing forms should reduce the amount of time and paperwork physicians face in joining health plan networks and hospital staffs, the MMS said.
The next goal is the capability to update credentialing information online, according to a report by Modern Physician.
Go to www.massmed.org or www.mhalink.org to view the statewide uniform credentialing applications.
