Credentialing services

Hospital Enrollment Services | PPS

Admitting privileges, medical staff applications, and biennial recredentialing at the hospitals where you actually want to practice. Multi-hospital coordination handled.

Hospital privileges are their own world. Every medical staff office has its own application packet, its own committee schedule, its own peer reference requirements, and its own definition of “complete.” A physician with privileges at three hospitals carries three credentialing files that recredential on independent two-year cycles. PPS manages hospital enrollment and ongoing medical staff coordination so you spend zero time chasing reference letters and zero time wondering when your privileges expire.

What’s included

  • Initial application packet for each hospital — every form, every required attachment, peer reference solicitation, malpractice query through NPDB.
  • Medical staff office coordination — direct contact with the credentialing coordinator at each facility.
  • Committee tracking — credentials committee usually meets monthly. Missing the cutoff date adds 30 days.
  • Privilege-level negotiation support — core privileges, requested privileges, supervision requirements where applicable.
  • Biennial recredentialing — every hospital recredentials on a 24-month cycle; we track the calendar.
  • Multi-hospital roster — for physicians with privileges at multiple facilities, a unified view.

How it works

Month 1. Document collection, peer reference outreach, NPDB query, malpractice insurance verification.

Month 2. Application submission to the medical staff office. We confirm receipt and the next credentials committee date.

Months 2-4. Committee review. Most hospitals take 60-90 days from a complete application to approved privileges. Incomplete files restart the clock.

Month 4-5. Provisional privileges granted, then full privileges after the proctorship period (varies by facility and specialty).

Who this is for

  • New attendings starting at a hospital for the first time post-residency or post-fellowship.
  • Physicians adding a second or third hospital affiliation.
  • Practices onboarding hospitalists or surgeons who need privileges at multiple facilities.
  • Established physicians whose biennial recredentialing is approaching and there’s no internal owner.

Why this isn’t just paperwork

The credentials committee can ask for things the application packet doesn’t mention. Past malpractice claims, a board-certification gap, a state-license action a decade old — any of it can trigger a request for additional documentation. The application that should have closed in 90 days now sits for six months because the response went to a credentialing coordinator who’s also handling 50 other files. We respond same-day to these requests, with the right document, in the right format. That’s the work.
