Credentialing

Dear Advanced Practice Provider,

We appreciate your interest in joining the healthcare team at Premier Health. We include Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) and Physician Assistants (PAs) as Advanced Practice Providers (APPs). We have developed a credentialing process for our APRNs and PAs to meet both Joint Commission requirements as well as the prospective boards.

Once you have completed the application process through Human Resources and accepted a position, you will need to contact the Central Verification Office and obtain a Credentialing Application. The contents of this packet will direct you regarding which documents you need to complete.  

These documents, once completed, and primary source verifications have been obtained; will move forward for appointment from the hospital's medical staff credentialing committees. Please note that the privileging process typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. You will be notified in writing by your assigned Credentialing Verification Officer (CVO) when you have been granted privileges.

We recognize that the employment process and the privileging process can be confusing. Because of this, we encourage to read privileging documents closely and reach out to your CVO with any questions.
