Credentialing Specialist

Overview

TeamHealth is a major physician practice organization in the United States, focused on delivering strong patient care and supporting its clinicians and corporate teams as it continues to expand nationwide. The Credentialing Specialist is an administrative role that supports facility-specific medical staff office applications and non-privilege post-acute applications, including the paperwork needed for Advanced Practice Clinician (APC) supervisory arrangements. The role calls for careful follow-through, close coordination between clinicians and facility staff, strong organization, and precise recordkeeping.

• Partner with clinicians and other internal or external resources when a new state license is required.
• Collect, enter, and update clinician data in credentialing systems using standardized workflows so records remain accurate and current.

• Manage and monitor the full facility application and reappointment process, keeping accurate documentation at each step.
• Start and confirm malpractice coverage for clinicians.
• Make sure facility-specific requirements are satisfied before applications are submitted to Medical Staff Offices or post-acute care locations, while maintaining quality standards.
• Prepare clinician applications for hospital privileges or approvals and check them carefully for accuracy.
• Follow up with hospitals and post-acute facilities according to established guidelines and keep onboarding, provider enrollment, VPOs, FMDs, RMD, scheduling, and recruiting stakeholders informed of credentialing status.
• Keep credentialing databases current and share hospital privilege or approval status reports with onboarding, provider enrollment, recruiting, scheduling, and contracting teams.
• Coordinate and complete hospital reappointment activities, including follow-up.
• Ensure APC and supervisory paperwork is completed correctly based on clinician type and the requirements of TeamHealth, the state, and the facility.
• Track and maintain proper APC-to-supervisor ratios as required.
• Protect confidential information and follow professional, legal, ethical, and facility confidentiality standards.
