Most organizations must review the credentials of their medical
staff on a periodic basis as a matter of law, Medicare
conditions or participation or plan or healthcare accreditation.
This periodic review is called "recredentialing" or undergoing
"reappointment" to the medical staff. Therefore,
healthcare providers are expected to complete an application for
reappointment or recredentialing every two years (hospitals,
surgery centers) or every three years in the case of many
managed care plans.
Some TPQVO client facilities
organize their recredentialing processes using a standardized
schedule based on specialties or discipline so that all
healthcare professionals of the same specialty or licensure (Allied
Health) undergo recredentialing at the same point every two years.
The schedules provided on this website show the completion date
for each recredentialing schedule.
If you've received a letter from TPQVO directing you to
fill out a reappointment application on this website and have
your login and password information, you can enter the secure
website
here.
Applicants must complete and return recredentialing
applications at least 2 months before TPQVO's completion date to
ensure that the verification process is completed by this time.
Applicants may fail to reappoint if these due dates are not
honored.
