Primary Source Verification

Written By Heidi Musser
 

In today’s healthcare landscape, trust begins with verified credentials. Our Primary Source Verification (PSV) services ensure that every provider in your network is qualified, licensed, and compliant—verified directly from the original source.

Primary Source Verification is the process of confirming a healthcare professional’s qualifications—such as education, licensure, board certifications, and training—by contacting the original issuing authority. This means no shortcuts, no assumptions, and no reliance on secondary data.

Whether it's a medical school, licensing board, or certifying body, we go straight to the source to validate:

  • Medical degrees and transcripts

  • State licenses and renewals

  • Board certifications

  • Residency and fellowship training

  • Work history and disciplinary records 123

Credentialing errors can lead to serious consequences—from denied claims and compliance violations to patient safety risks. PSV is a critical safeguard that:

  • Protects patients by ensuring only qualified professionals deliver care

  • Reduces legal and financial risk by preventing fraud and malpractice claims

  • Supports accreditation with organizations like The Joint Commission and NCQA

  • Improves operational efficiency by streamlining onboarding and recredentialing

  • Builds trust across your provider network and with payers13
