Register here.
Speaker Amy Niehaus, CPMSM, CPCS, MBA, is a consultant for The Greeley Company, Inc. with more than 25 years experience in credentialing and privileging. In this NAMSS-certified webcast, she will discuss both sides of the credentialing process - payor credentialing and provider enrollment - in the third-party payor world. Niehaus will also educate attendees on how understanding a health plan’s requirements under NCQA can help the provider organization develop an efficient enrollment process for its employed healthcare practitioners and consider the option of achieving delegation status.
“The process of credentialing involves multiple constituents and individual processes making it a complex system,” said Patrick Birmingham, Senior Vice President of symplr. “Amy Niehaus has extensive experience working with medical staff and leaders to institute effective credentialing processes that not only reduce time, cost, and improve revenue cycle, but also lend directly to increasing patient safety. This webcast will benefit healthcare organizations at any stage in their credentialing program’s life - whether the initial development or seeking to gain NCQA delegation status.”
