Credentialing
In serving its thousands of accreditation and compliance clients, TCS maintains a staff capable of reaching just about anywhere, anytime. This people infrastructure allows TCS to provide network quality audits nationwide for third-party payers. TCS can provide these services at significantly lower costs than competitors in large part because of its widely disbursed staff and its extensive use of sophisticated communications technology.
Periodic provider audits enable payers to maintain high quality and compliance standards and identify opportunities to continually improve network practices. Quality audits evaluate practices against accepted standards of care and service as adopted by national professional and accreditation organizations. TCS is usually able to provide these audits, on a flat per audit basis, at a fraction of a payer's internal costs for the same service.
TCS has also provided similar audits for large multi-site physician organizations and malpractice insurers wishing to keep standardized, current data on quality and compliance throughout their constituent group. Reports, internet available, enable such organizations to see the precise status of individual practices or their entire group, instantly, online. This is not only an excellent management efficiency, it is appreciated by regulatory and accrediting organizations alike. |
