Significant changes are being made to credentialing verification timeframes that impact accreditation and certification standards. The verification period for critical elements like licensure and board certification is being reduced from 180 days to 120 days. Work history verification is also shifting from 365 to 120 days. These updated timelines are vital for organizations, especially those delegating credentialing functions, to meet new compliance standards. Starting July 1, all surveys will be assessed using these revised timeframes. Organizations must ensure timely receipt and presentation of verifications to avoid delays or rework.
