Credentialing is critical to payer operations, but traditional methods are redundant, costly, and frustrating for both health plans and providers. Each health plan independently verifies provider credentials, triggering repetitive tasks, high administrative burdens and delays in network participation.
Sutherland is reimagining that reality with MultiPayer Credentialing Consortium – a transformative shared service model that simplifies and streamlines credentialing for overlapping provider networks—without compromising compliance or control. How?
It offers a national, NCQA-certified shared services model where health plans:
- Share credentialing administration while retaining network control
- Eliminate redundancy across overlapping provider networks
- Dramatically reduce per-provider PSV and workforce costs
It’s a smarter way to credential: one schedule, one process, and secure credential packets available to all participating plans.
Key Benefits:
