CLIENT NAME: North Hills Surgery Center, Fayetteville, AR
Size of Practice:
- 90 Providers (Provider Types: MD, NP, PA)
- One location
The Problem:
This Client has been with STAT MedCare for many years and we completed the initial appointments of all their providers and they were going to manage the reappointments in-house. However, the Client didn’t have a system in order to monitor and track their provider’s appointment dates or their expirable data and therefore, they hired STAT to monitor and maintain their appointment dates, as well as all expirables.
The Solution:
- As STAT Medcare starts initial appointments, provider profiles are built in our credentialing system, STATCred and appointment dates are tracked and monitored.
- STATCred sends an automated notification via email to the Lead Medical Staff Coordinator of any upcoming expiration dates and/or reappointment dates at 90/60 and 30 days.
- STAT then completes all reappointments and updates the system with the provider’s new reappointment date(s)
- STATCred also monitors the provider’s expirable data at 90/60/30 and sends an automated notification via email to the Lead Medical Staff Coordinator on all data that is expiring. The Coordinator provides the client with a detailed report and as items are renewed, they are forwarded to STAT, expiration dates updated and documents loaded into our system, STATCred for continued monitoring.
CLIENT NAME: DR. SIMON
Size of Practice:
- Solo Provider, board certified anesthesiologist and addiction medicine specialist
- One location
The Problem:
- Dr. Simon wanted to be enrolled with BCBS and United Healthcare. However, the American Board of Addition Medicine is not a member board of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). The process to bring Addiction Medicine into the ABMS as a multi-specialty subspecialty, through sponsorship by the American Board of Preventive Medicine, began February, 2015. However, because of this, most of the plans do not recognize this as a board certified specialty and therefore, the plans wanted Dr. Simon to be credentialed in their behavior health program, but Dr. Simon (and the specialty itself) insists it is a medical specialty.
The Solution:
- STAT was successful in getting the provider contracted with the BCBS and United Healthcare as a mutli-specialty specialist in medicine per the client’s wishes.
- BCBS was the first plan to finally agree and this was accomplished due to the experienced and knowledgeable staff at STAT MedCare which included many phone calls, research of the specialty and the board, as well as BCBS rules and not taking no for an answer.
- Once BCBS approved this provider as a mutli-specialty specialist in medicine and issued him a contract, the staff at STAT MedCare contacted United Healthcare, provided them with evidence of BCBS issuing this type of contract and quickly followed suit and issued this provider a contract.
