CREDENTIALS VERIFICATION ORGANIZATION
The credentialing process for a doctor’s office, provider network, or hospital can be
one of the most expensive budget items. Med Advantage has been working diligently
to expedite the process and reduce the cost to credential a provider through the use
of automation, large data centers, and a proprietary process & software.
CREDENTIALING / RE-CREDENTIALING:
Med Advantage has developed and actively maintains a proprietary database
containing verified records of over 970,000 individual healthcare providers who have
been credentialed by the company at least once, as well as a data warehouse which
links together 98 primary data sources and contains information on over one million
healthcare providers.
The database includes providers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The company’s size combined with its data
management and verification capabilities make Med Advantage one of the leading
companies in the CVO industry and the only one that is independently owned.

APPLICATION MANAGEMENT
A company’s credentialing process begins with a request for credentialing or re-
credentialing of a specific provider or group of providers. As part of the request, the
client generally extracts selected provider data from its internal information system in a
usable format.
Med Advantage’s proprietary credentialing system then automatically converts
the data into a usable format and matches the data with the information in the
data warehouse.
The matched data is merged into the company’s database to begin the application
process. Data extract requests are an efficient way to credential large numbers of
providers with minimal administrative effort – saving you time, money, and resources.
NETWORK DATA
SERVICES
Med Advantage, along with its data partner, delivers a proven, powerful
software solution designed to ensure the accuracy of healthcare and
insurance payers’ provider databases and maintain the information on an on-
going basis.
Services are performed through a secure, hosted web service (ASP) that
scrubs payers’ internal provider file data to identify inaccurate and incomplete
information. We can enhance your files with information from our
comprehensive database of provider data, which includes primary source-
verified data of office-based physicians, practitioners, hospitals and facilities,
business entities, pharmacists, pharmacies, ancillary providers, and
organizations.
Data services reliably matches and joins data from different sources. Providers
are tracked across time, including changes in address, name, license status
and affiliations. In addition, this service is actionable and it calculates match
scores for automatically interpreting and implementing results based on
client-specific rules.
