Credentialing & privileging
Medical staff credentialing and privileging

The Legacy Health medical staff is comprised of over 3,200 providers from both employed and community practices. This includes:

Credentialing Services
Legacy's System-wide Credentialing Verification Services (SCVS) personnel perform all of the primary source verification for all health care practitioners within Legacy Health.
This information is then forwarded to Medical Staff Services personnel located at each facility to complete the credentialing and privilege reviews for membership and/or privileges. Legacy's Medical Staff Services Department uses an online program to manage credentialing and privileging applications.
