Medical Staff bylaws at each Inova entity require practitioners to maintain current expirables at all times. Failure to renew license or insurance will result in suspension of medical staff privileges at the Inova entity(ies) until renewal is verified by the Centralized Credentialing Office. The Centralized Credentialing Office monitors expiration dates and reports expiring certificates/licenses to the Medical Staff Offices. All practitioners on staff at an Inova entity must provide Centralized Credentialing with renewed credentials or certificates PRIOR to expiration.

General Questions What Is Credentialing? Expand Content Credentialing is a term that usually encompasses two separate processes: credentialing and privileging. Credentialing is the primary source verification of a health care practitioner's education, training, work experience, license, etc. Privileging is granting approval for an individual to perform a specific procedure or specific set of privileges based on documented competence in the specialty in which privileges are requested. Why Does Inova Credential?

Inova’s online physician referral directory (“Find A Doctor”) is advertised and promoted throughout Northern Virginia to bring together the needs of patients and physicians in our community.  Physicians credentialed with Active or Provisional privileges at an Inova hospital are eligible to participate in the external physician directory. Primary Care physicians (Family Practice, Internal Medicine and Pediatrics) with Courtesy or Community privileges at an Inova hospital are also eligible.

Reappointment is the process of re-evaluating a practitioner's current competency after they have been appointed to the medical staff or professional staff at an Inova entity. Inova reappoints each practitioner via a schedule based on the practitioner's birth month. Some practitioners may be reappointed "out of sync" depending on their initial approval date in relation to the current reappointment schedule. Reappointments are being standardized to place all practitioners in the birth month-odd/even-year cycle. During this transition period your reappointment cycle may be less than 24 months.

New standardized Inova templates are available for you to document with optimal efficiency. These templates have been developed by practicing Inova physicians, and approved by coding, billing and compliance. These templates will walk you through what is needed to appropriately complete your documentation. Benefits: Save time Don't double document. The templates will pull information from other parts of the chart into the note so you don't have to chart it again.
