Credentialing

OSCIPA completes all of its credentialing in-house rather than outsourcing it. OSCIPA has a Credentialing Coordinator that monitors all credentialing processes. All of our credentialing services meet standard credentialing criteria established by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), American Accreditation Health Care Corporation (AAHCC), and the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, (JCAHO). OSCIPA consistently passes annual credentialing audits by our contracted health plans and networks. In keeping with OSCIPA's commitment to continuous quality improvement, we have taken our credentialing services to the next level. If you are interested in joining OSCIPA, select the JOIN OSCIPA tab and initiate the application process. Upon approval by our Credentialing Committee and Board of Directors, your application will not only be for OSCIPA membership, but will also be for our contracting carriers and networks as well. The Credentialing Coordinator will send you a pre-populated application when recredentialing is due.

We also offer a streamlined credentialing and verification service called Crediserve.  Crediserve is a professional credentialing/verification service owned and operated by OSCIPA for IPA’s both locally and nationwide.

Crediserve is available to other chiropractic IPA’s to assist with their members’ credentialing needs.  Once the IPA has contracted with us for this service each chiropractor will complete an initial set up application with all required licenses and documents. When the verifications are completed for each application received, the completed application and documents will be returned to the contracting IPA for approval and signatures by each doctor.  The IPAor doctor will then submit the application and documents to the appropriate entity. 

The Crediserve fees are $100 for the initial application and $50 for recredentialing.  Contact Larry M. Bridges, Ph.D., Executive Director of OSCIPA at (918) 641-0444, extension 1 for more information regarding Crediserve.
