What is Primary Source Verification (PSV)?

0

• PSV is the process of verifying credentials directly with the source. For example, a credentialing office cannot accept a copy of a medical school degree as evidence that the physician graduated from medical school. The school must be contacted directly to verify the physician’s attendance and graduation. • PSV is required so that hospitals and credentialing offices do not receive fraudulent documents from applicants or other non-primary sources. • A credentialing office cannot accept any verifications that come through a third party rather than the primary source. • PSV is a requirement by accrediting bodies as well as the cornerstone of a good credentialing process.
